The European Union (EU) has recently adopted the \u201ctwin transition\u201d\u2014the simultaneous pursuit of digitalization and ecological transformation\u2014as a central tenet of its industrial policy. EU lawmakers assert that digital technologies can enhance environmental protection by optimizing resource use, improving environmental monitoring, and enhancing data-driven sustainability initiatives. However, this optimistic vision of eco-modernization seems to overlook the environmental costs of digitalization, including increased energy and water consumption, resource extraction, and electronic waste. This article critically examines EU legislative efforts within the twin transition framework, focusing on the role of environmental law in enabling society\u2019s digitalization and reducing nature to mere data. It argues that, for the twin transition to move beyond a political slogan and yield tangible ecological benefits, profound legal reforms are essential. Technology regulation must shift away from corporate self-regulation, and environmental lawmakers must reassess the effectiveness of disclosure-based governance. Additionally, data governance frameworks should be reoriented to prioritize sustainability and foster democratic environmental decision-making.<\/p>\n
