Digital journey to net zero

Finland Pavilion, OR02G4, Blue Zone, Expo City Dubai

Digital technologies such as 5G, Artificial Intelligence and Digital Twins can help accelerate climate action. They are essential to mitigation efforts by cutting emissions as well as adaptation efforts by helping to identify, monitor and address impacts of climate change already being felt. But as everything becomes connected, demand for data grows, and the underpinning digital infrastructures proliferate, digital emissions will grow unless the industry takes action to decouple data growth from emissions.

In this event, key figures from the digital sector outlined their joint ambition and commitments to decarbonize digital to accelerate the green transition. This event formed part of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) Green Digital Action track at COP28.
