On December 5, the 28th meeting of the Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP28) held a climate innovation forum. Tech leaders from around the world come together to deliver cutting-edge solutions to the global climate crisis, including artificial intelligence (AI), satellite technology, big data, clean energy, industrial decarbonization, low-carbon hydrogen, and more.
Bill Gates, founder of the Breakthrough Energy Alliance, Arvind Krishna, CEO of IBM, Brad Smith, vice chairman and president of Microsoft, and other business technology leaders, as well as the world's leading energy technology leaders in the United Arab Emirates, attended the forum.
The speed needed to achieve our goals, developing and scaling up the solutions needed to support the global energy transition will require unprecedented cross-sector collaboration," said Adnan Amin, CEO of COP28. We must ensure that the decisions made at COP28 are translated into real-world action, and technology will play a key role in ensuring this. ”
The Forum highlighted the importance of technology and innovation as key enablers and accelerators for cross-sectoral collaboration, and highlighted the need for large-scale deployment and adoption to make a significant impact in reducing or eliminating greenhouse gas emissions and shortening scale-up timelines. Facing the challenge of the "green premium", reduce the cost of climate solutions, and provide the world with better carbon footprint services through technological innovation for sustainable development, especially data innovation.
