Today’s global challenges demand increasingly bold and innovative solutions that harness the power of technology and innovation to create a more sustainable and equitable future for both people and the planet.
Some of the most pressing of these challenges are the climate crisis and the protection of natural ecosystems. Advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) and emerging technologies offer significant opportunities as a tool for innovating and accelerating climate solutions, whether this be through optimising energy efficiency and smart monitoring, developing predictive climate models, or enabling smarter, data-driven decision-making. However, it is crucial that we look at how these new technologies are being used. With AI expected to exponentially increase energy usage and resource demands - increasing greenhouse gas emission as a result - ensuring its sustainable deployment is crucial to maximising benefits and preventing further harm to the planet and its ecosystems.
At the same time, the future of our planet depends on ensuring the next generation is equipped with the ‘future proof’ skills required to meet these challenges. The twin digital and green transition requires a stark investment in both green and digital skills to empower individuals, nations, and societies to thrive in this increasingly dynamic environment. Yet, millions worldwide still lack access to quality education and the necessary skills to succeed. By leveraging innovative solutions, we can bridge these gaps to create needed upskilling solutions, support and scale entrepreneurial ventures, and create new pathways to employment in a demanding and digital economy.
At the heart of every global threat is a failure of leadership. This new generation is the most informed, most educated, most connected generation in human history. One Young World identifies, promotes and connects the world�s most impactful young leaders to create a better world, with more responsible, more effective leadership.
