The manufacturing sector produces one-fifth of global carbon emissions and consumes 54 % of the world\u2019s energy. Advances in AI can use data to streamline operations, identify inefficiencies, and transition the manufacturing process away from fossil fuels quickly and economically.<\/p>\n
In December 2023, as the 28th session of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) concluded in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, we heard ambitious promises to scale up climate finance, transition to a fair and orderly fossil-free energy decarbonization, and emphasize \u201cfocusing on people, lives and livelihoods\u201d in the effort to keep global warming below a devastating 1.5\u00b0C.<\/p>\n
These promises echo agreements long gone. But what is no longer the elephant in the room is a widely known and deeply troubling reality: we face unparalleled political stagnation when it comes to taking meaningful climate action in the areas that matter most.<\/p>\n
The manufacturing sector stands out like a sore thumb, producing one-fifth of global carbon emissions and consuming 54 % of the world's energy, while producing 16 % of the world's gross domestic product (GDP).<\/p>\n
Despite humans being on the verge of crossing the climate threshold of catastrophic warming, where \u201cscientists have found that climate disasters will be so extreme that humans will be unable to adapt,\u201d we still need to act.
