🌍 Greetings from Baku! #COP29 This year's agenda covers crucial discussions and innovative solutions as we gather to address the climate crisis. 📢 The spotlight is on the 'finance COP,' aiming to boost funding for low-income nations to cut greenhouse gas emissions. Still, ignoring the interest in using technology in climate action is hard. 🤖 COP29 features a dedicated Digitalisation Day on November 16th, the first time during a COP. This addition recognises the pivotal role of digital technologies in supporting climate initiatives while addressing concerns about energy consumption and e-waste. The Green Digital Action initiative is set to launch a declaration to accelerate climate-positive digitalisation and emission reductions in the ICT sector. It's thrilling to see how we harness tech to combat climate change while ensuring its sustainability. Another tech highlight is the focus on energy storage and grid enhancement. A bold pledge is in the works to increase global energy storage capacity sixfold by 2030, reaching a staggering 1,500 gigawatts. This goes hand in hand with plans to scale up investments in power grids significantly. It is also hard to ignore some level of pessimism due to the potential adverse effects of the recent political developments. Still, I assume such scepticism will be replaced following a couple of inspiring sessions. #ClimateAction #GreenTech #Sustainability #CleanEnergy https://lnkd.in/eWdntTJy
