As calls to fight climate change become more urgent, companies are finding ways to become part of the solution—and technology can help. McKinsey research indicates that cloud-powered solutions can fast-track the implementation of nearly half of the decarbonization initiatives required to achieve a 1.5°C pathway by 2050. “As companies gear up to comply with increasingly complex sustainability regulations, strategic use of cloud-powered technologies can be a crucial differentiator,” write McKinsey’s Cindy Levy, Fan Gao, Eric Hannon, and coauthors.
As CES 2024 wraps up, check out these insights to learn how three predominantly cloud-powered technologies—artificial intelligence, machine learning, and the Internet of Things (IoT)—can help accelerate decarbonization initiatives, and dive into more insights on climate-smart agriculture, climate investing, and scaling critical climate technologies.
