A quick guide to climate change jargon – what experts mean by mitigation, carbon neutral and 6 other key terms
As a major U.N. climate conference gets underway on Oct. 31, 2021, you’ll be hearing a lot of technical terms tossed around: mitigation, carbon neutral, sustainable development. The language can feel overwhelming. “It sounds like you’re talking over people,” one person said of the terminology during a recent study colleagues and I conducted through the USC Dornsife Public Exchange. Climate reports are often written at a scientific level. So we thought it would be helpful to clarify some of the most common terms. To do that, we interviewed 20 people about common terms used by climate scientists and climate journalists. We then used their feedback to explain those terms in everyday language. With the help of the United Nations Foundation, we chose eight terms from reports written by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.

At their best, these kinds of circular economy interventions can create jobs, deal with waste, and improve nutrition and health at the same time.
Sustainability at the Edge | IBM
Environmentalists have been talking about sustainability for over a decade, but it seems to have now entered the IT lexicon in a big way. It is also added to our IT architectural framework as one of the business capabilities for which clients ask. Sustainability is one of the pillars of the AWS well-architected framework, and in January of 2022, IBM acquired Envizi, a sustainability software company. More on that later. Digging more into the topic of sustainability, it became very obvious that edge computing inherently addresses a couple of sustainability facets: low latency and analyzing data at the source. We know these are two of the key tenets of edge computing. In this blog post, we define sustainability and present different aspects of how edge computing actually helps with sustainability.
