Kat Nouri already had a successful business that she had been running for over a decade. But she had a desire to do more — to use her business as a vehicle to stop plastic pollution.
The pandemic has made people more concerned about sustainability than ever, and businesses are the focuses of their collective ire, with most saying they don’t take enterprise sustainability goals (ESGs) seriously. The solution, Oracle says, is to put AIs in charge. Oracle’s 2022 ESG Global Study surveyed some 11,000 consumers and businesses, and its findings reveal a population overwhelmingly frustrated with a lack of progress toward sustainability initiatives (94 percent). Seventy-eight percent also say that they’re frustrated with the lack of progress businesses have made on the ESG front. Consumers aren’t content to let businesses pat themselves on the back either: nearly half said that they believe businesses have more power than individuals or governments to affect change, and 89 percent said they need to see proof that progress is being made toward ESG goals.
A coordinated approach holds the key to sustainable development.
One of the remarkable things about IoT technology is its potential to impact sustainability across many industry verticals worldwide. The case for IoT solutions impacting sustainability is particularly evident in the global supply chain, where IoT-enabled solutions such as Critical Asset Monitoring improve both visibility and sustainability.
The economic shockwaves from the Covid-19 pandemic have prompted airlines to consider the prospect of operating turboprop aircraft through new eyes. Deutsche Aircraft maintains that an urgent need for carriers to recalibrate yield calculations as traffic levels slowly recover provides a strong springboard for its plans to step up the development of an updated version of the Dornier 328 regional turboprop.
According to the World Meteorological Organization, greenhouse gas concentrations have reached a record high. In the case of carbon dioxide (CO2),the growth in 2020 exceeded the average for the last decade; despite a 5.6% drop in fossil fuel CO2 emissions driven by COVID-19 restrictions. This continued rise in CO2 concentration is directly linked to our massive consumption of fossil fuels. In a study published in the journal Green Energy & Environment, a group of researchers from Renmin University of China propose a new method to capture CO2 using sunlight as the energy source and modified sawdust as the CO2 absorbent. In addition to capturing CO2, their method also avoids using the fossil fuels that would create additional CO2. Importantly, the absorption method they have developed is reversible, so the captured CO2 can be used to generate other products, such as methanol, ethanol and methane.
