Integrating climate protection into everyday life is a major concern. New technologies support us in this. They help us to make optimum use of renewable energy, store surpluses and reuse them elsewhere. In the economy, digitalization is helping to optimally manage the use of resources, align production with demand and thus prevent unnecessary surpluses. Artificial intelligence can also be used to take over automated processes.
How can digitalization help us to lead a climate-conscious life without causing harm? Which current problems and which future tasks can our products or services solve? This is the question that sustainable companies need to ask themselves.
In order to preserve a planet worth living on, global, national and regional efforts will be crucial in the coming years. Ideas, innovations and role models are needed to set the course for the resource, mobility, food and energy transition. KlimaZukunft creates space for exchange and discussion between science and practice.
Energy and resource requirements are increasing, there is more electronic waste, more radiation exposure. As always, a balance is needed, a careful approach to innovations. But the younger generations in particular are aware that the promise of perpetual economic growth makes no sense if the basis of life for everyone - planet Earth and its resources - is destroyed in the process.
A spirit of research is required, innovations are needed to make our lives worth living for future generations. KlimaZukunft creates space for exchange and discussion between science and practice.
For the future, it is crucial to avoid technologies that increase the ecological footprint. The following should therefore be avoided:
Fossil fuels
Avoid technologies that further drive the use of fossil fuels and increase CO2 emissions.
High-energy-intensive industries
Reduce support for technologies that rely on high energy consumption and CO2 emissions, such as certain heavy industries.
Environmentally damaging agriculture
Avoid technologies that favor intensive and polluting agriculture and instead focus on sustainable agricultural techniques.
Single-use and disposable products
Avoid technologies that promote single-use and disposable products, as these lead to pollution and waste of resources.
By specifically supporting innovative and sustainable technologies, we can make an important contribution to tackling the challenges of climate change and environmental degradation.
Renewable energies
Promote and use renewable energy technologies such as solar energy, hydropower and wind power.
Electromobility
Support the development of electric vehicles and their charging infrastructure to decarbonize the transport sector.
Circular economy
Invest in technologies that promote the circular economy to use resources more efficiently and minimize waste.
Artificial intelligence
Use AI to tackle complex problems such as climate modeling, resource management and energy efficiency.
