Welcome to techUK's Climate Action at COP28 Campaign Week!
During this week, techUK members will highlight the contributions made by the UK tech sector to mobilise and accelerate climate action, playing a vital role in the UK government's ambition to reach net zero by 2050. This comes at an important time ahead of COP 28, the ‘Global Stocktake' year, to showcase the opportunities to deliver tech sector led decarbonisation across the economy.
We will bring you daily insights, articles, and videos from various topics, including the role of digital and AI to reduce emissions, digital infrastructure towards climate resilience, and developing green and digital skills. It will bring together those across the digital ecosystem to highlight key advancements that are already being made.
