Can technology tackle climate change? There is a pressing need. If temperatures keep rising, many parts of the world will have limited agency to adapt to a changing environment. The International Energy Agency says that by 2030 emissions must fall by 45% relative to 2010 to be on track to reach net zero.The private sector has a critical role to play in a net zero future—it brings to bear influence, investment and innovation. But companies have some big questions to answer as they look to introduce and scale sustainable digital solutions. How can technology be deployed to make businesses more sustainable? What role does the cloud have to play? What, where and how and should we be measuring? And can digital truly enable sustainability?In this series, some of Accenture’s and Asia-Pacific’s leading thinkers and executives will address these questions and more in “Sustainability, powered by technology”.

Building a responsible metaverse

This month, Adam Green speaks to Denise Zheng, lead for Responsible Metaverse at Accenture, and Mark Carell-Billiard, global lead of Technology Innovation at Accenture labs, about the booming interest in the metaverse and the key challenges now faced to ensure it is developed responsibly. There is significant pressure on companies to stake out their place in the metaverse, as they explore use cases and principles to guide responsible development. From energy use to privacy, this podcast looks at the main risks of the metaverse, and the role of partnerships, industry codes of conduct, regulations and technology itself, like green software, to provide guardrails and ensure the metaverse is a force for good. The discussion also explores the key skills and competencies necessary to excel in the metaverse era as companies navigate the opportunities and risks of web3.
