This online seminar will give participants a detailed understanding of the urgency of businesses taking a lead on Climate Action, what actions they can take now and how digital technology can enable these actions.
The World Economic Forum suggests that Digital Technology can help reduce global emissions by 15%. “Solutions already exist in energy, industry, buildings, transport, food, forestry and agriculture. The gap between science and understanding in society has essentially closed. Now we need to close the gap between understanding and acting. Now is not the time for incremental improvements – we need rapid scaling and exponential climate action.
