Enabling the Digital and Green Twin Transition
Download as PPTX, PDF0 likes786 views
The document discusses several initiatives aimed at enabling a "twin transition" between green and digital transformation. It describes programs that leverage digital technologies like AI, blockchain, and IoT to enhance sustainability and address climate change through innovations in areas like renewable energy, agriculture, and waste management. The initiatives seek to commercialize cleantech solutions, shape digital transformation in an environmentally friendly way, and harness digital potential to achieve climate goals through a combination of knowledge sharing, pilot projects, and multi-stakeholder partnerships.

- 2. Intersection between Green and Digital Transformation • Paris Agreement: need for innovations and technology pull and push • Green and Digital transformation are taking place at the same time and are closely intertwined with each other • Digital innovations (AI, Blockchain, IoT, supercomputing) provide unprecedented opportunities to enhance sustainability of economy & society • Radical new thinking and business models are required- Business as usual will not be sufficient to address the climate crisis • Getting innovations out of the lab into the market- Commercialization of digital clean tech solutions is an important challenge • Scale-up of clean tech innovations: 2 valleys of death. Lack of early-stage financing and growth financing for most innovative startups

ICT has the potential to reduce greenhouse gases up to 10x its own footprint. Shaping digital transformation in a climate-friendly way Harnessing the potential of digital technologies to achieve climate goals Twin Transition Digital transformation + climate transition Green Tech, Green Data Climate Adaptation Climate Mitigation
