Best of LinkedIn CW 48/ 49: Sustainability & Green ICT

Hi Together,

Sustainability and Green ICT have become pivotal topics in 2024 (even before), driven by the pressing need to align technological advancements with environmental responsibility. But is it just a buzzword or a tangible reality? How can sustainable practices integrate into ICT? Are these efforts yielding results or still exploratory?

So, we decided to create a new edition within the Digital Transformation & Tech newsletter, focusing on Sustainability and Green ICT to ensure you do not miss out on any value-added posts amidst the fluff.

This edition will be biweekly, and the "Digital Products & Services", "ICT & Tech Insights", and the "Artificial Intelligence" editions will continue as usual.

For CW 48/ 49, we have handpicked 61 posts and 61 new people you should follow.

In our highlighted read, Anna Lerner Nesbitt introduces the AI x Climate Accelerator Opportunity Grid, highlighting AI's transformative role in addressing climate change.

We have also included relevant events focusing on Sustainability and Green ICT.

Introducing the AI x Climate Accelerator Opportunity Grid

Anna Lerner Nesbitt introduces the AI x Climate Accelerator Opportunity Grid, a strategic initiative by Climate Collective, supported by The Patrick J. McGovern Foundation , to leverage AI's potential in addressing climate change. The grid highlights four key AI superpowers: prediction and monitoring, optimization and efficiency, automation and action, and knowledge and insights.

These categories illustrate how AI can forecast climate impacts, optimize resources, automate large-scale tasks, and generate actionable insights for decision-making. By identifying areas ripe for innovation and understanding market dynamics, this accelerator aims to drive impactful, scalable solutions in the fight against climate change.
