Digital journey to net zero: Decarbonizing digital to accelerate the green transition

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 will outline its joint ambition and commitments to decarbonize digital to accelerate the green transition.

Speakers:
Tomas Lamanauskas, Deputy Secretary-General, International Telecommunication Union (ITU)
Melissa Schoeb, Chief Corporate Affairs Officer, Nokia
Philippe Tuzzolino, VP Environment, Orange Group
Maya Ormazabal Herrero, Director of Sustainability, Telefónica
Jeroen Kanselaar, Chairman Sustainability Committee, FTTH Council Europe
Christine Qiang, Director, Digital Development Global Practice, World Bank
Subho Mukherjee, Vice President Sustainability and Global Head of ESG, Nokia
