To achieve global net zero emissions, we need to transform our systems completely: from building more energy efficient structures, to powering electric vehicles and using greener fuel and energy sources. Reducing carbon emissions transfers requires action from all sectors, and it will have to happen fast.

This is where new technologies are promising to be a game changer. Recent leaps in advancing Artificial Intelligence (AI) and machine learning have the potential to help us take stock and course correct faster than ever before, according to Ahmed Ameen Ashour, the chief sustainability commercial officer at Microsoft Middle East and Africa. Ashour participated in a panel discussion at Cop28 in Dubai, moderated by Eleanor Slinger, the regional director of New Statesman Media Group, UAE.
