🏙️ Did you know that cities, while occupying only 3% of the world’s land, account for 60% to 80% of energy consumption and emit 75% of global carbon? As urban populations grow, urban emissions could double by 2050, exacerbating this issue. Introducing Smart Cities. By utilizing IoT sensors to gather data and big data analytics to uncover patterns, they can set and achieve sustainability goals. AI and machine learning further optimize energy use in buildings and transportation systems, reduce emissions, minimize waste, predict maintenance needs, and extend the lifespan of infrastructure. Read on for real-world examples and use cases of how smart cities are making a difference. >> https://lnkd.in/gXti7mW7 #SmartCities #Sustainability #IoT #AI #MachineLearning #UrbanDevelopment #ClimateAction

🌍 On World Population Day 2024, we want to remind our community that two centuries ago, scientists feared we would outgrow our food supply.

Are you a techno-optimist? 🌍 Techno-optimists believe that future technologies will address climate change, and we should therefore be optimistic. But the truth is that we can't wait for the future when technology is developed enough to step in; we need technology now- to mitigate and help us adapt to climate change. The Paris Agreement highlights that climate change is inevitable, and current commitments won't keep us below 2 degrees Celsius, which is where we were before the Industrial Revolution. In fact, we're on track for 3.4 degrees.* Climate and Agrifood Tech startups aren't just the future—they are urgently needed today. *Source: https://lnkd.in/ezydbNBY #TechnoOptimist #ClimateAction #Innovation #Sustainability #ICLPlanetClimate
