Group Now, head over to you, Dr. Jones
head over to you, Dr. Jones. Now, head over to you, Dr john. Hi, Dr Hi, Dr naughty you.
stop your screen share stop your screen sharing. Yes, yes. Yes. It's terminated. Yeah It's terminated. Yeah. Sorry. Yeah, no problem
Sorry. Yeah, no problem. First, I want to thank First, I want to thank. First, I want to thanks. Katie is very nice introduction.
ery nice introduction nice introduction. And I would also. want to to say thanks. the organizers. are kinda are kind of vegetation today are kind of vegetation. Today I
would like to actually show would like to actually share some would like to actually share some results from. my recent. posts published the paper that the paper that the.
paper try to. track track the global r&d the global r&d spending a way spending a which can help us to. to understand the weather to understand the weather, our global clean energy innovation is global clean energy innovation is on the track, or is not. So in this research. h, we actually try to build h, we actually try to build up a more comprehensive well.
energy energy on the database. By including not only I By including not only I a By including not only I a countries but also long, I countries but also long, I a country's specific day countries, specifically with an actor. to include to include those in to include those are emerging economies like China, India economies like China, India, Russia. Russia. , and South Africa, these , and South Africa, these and South Africa, these are not covered by.
y the database where the database, while also trying to. catch categorize different technologies. Bye technologies, by using is. category categorization to try categorization, to try to include you in fossil fuels is a US energy page. iency iency, renewable energy iency, renewable energy nuclear iency, renewable energy nuclear hydrogen fuel cells as up hydrogen fuel cells as a power nuclear hydrogen and the fuel cells as a power and the storage technologies and as.
across card in technology across cardin technologies or across cardin technologies or something that we cannot. allow allocate in allocate in this research in allocate in this research in allocate in this research in general way defies clean. energy energy as as renewables. nergy nergy nergy efficiency and as nergy efficiency and other technology, they do not include that technology, they do not include a nuclear. cross cutting technologies are something that we cannot allocate in this research in general we define clean energy as renewables, energy efficiency and other technology, they do not include nuclear, and the definitely do not include fossil fuels. So there are several.
major major takeaways. I would like to takeaways. I would like to share. offers our first, we find that our first, we find is that from first, we find is that from 2000. to two 222 2000 2018.
the globe as a global energy r&d as a global energy r&d spend the governmental that's accurate nding governmental that's acting as a government entity r&d spending is actually increased. a wrap rapidly. But actually it's. Step But actually it's stabilized since 2000. 09 and risk 09, and recently to save 09, and recently to save a little in and recently to save a little by the way By the way, think that to properly By the way, think that probably is not adequate he is added is not adequate he is adequate to.
achieve achieve our carbon neutral achieve our carbon neutrality targets achieve our carbon neutrality targets our carbon neutrality targets. And the main Well actually we th is that the structure of the globe th is that the structure of the global Government r amp D. D is changing wrap D is changing rapidly. spread needs.
Fast fossil fuel on the spot government to do government decreased. a lot a lot. You can see it a lot, you can see the search. up the up the chart here, though the chart here. The green one shows as far green one shoes fossil fuel r&d. spend Spend by the government.
nt. It actually increased from It actually increased from 2009. Two around. And we also see the. action actually have you actually have nuclear arms actually have nuclear our r&d spending is quite stable in terms spending is quite stable in terms of. the race the ratio in global art ratio in global r&d spending.
g and long pass of your arm and long pass of your r&d spend actually. y see a big increase in y see a big increase in terms of the ratio, you can. n say the green one say the green one. And the yellow one. They are you
the yellow one. There is a big increase. And so we find that. at in terms of of the at in terms of. of the total r&d &d spending the United spending, the United States is. still the stairs or largest the stairs are largely based on energy r&b.
embed investor in the world investor in the word, but to China investor in the word, but to China and India have becomes a sec China and India have becomes a second. or the red or the red one, and as or the red one, and as assertive India, yellow one. energy energy Energy r&d invests. estor, so on estor, so on estor. So, and also in terms of
So, and also in terms of the command. energy energy energy r&d app energy r&d actually trying energy r&d, actually, China, a the United. States the red.
d one is China d one is China and the blue d one is China and the blue one is the united States. China China has already surpassed. us, so as the United States because the United States becomes a. a largest color a largest clean largest clean energy largest clean energy and the investor. So we think that into So we think that in terms, gave So we think that in terms of So we think that in terms of giving the magnitude or on this.
nding by china and the US nding by china and India. The Tech nding by china and India that technology priorities satisfied. e two e two countries to e two countries to countries s governments aware governments, a whale have.
a great great influence on the great influence on the new energy technology breakthroughs in the future. and if we look at and if we look at it. hat. Yeah, okay, yeah, if we do
hat. Yeah, okay, yeah, if we look at as a specific technologies China focus more on renewables and the engine India on renewables and the india is very interested in focusing more on the nuclear Technology. ogies and And we also find that And we also find that as a china and the United States, x and the United States are actually competing for the number one. ne in terms of will pop ne in terms of public coming ne in terms of public clean energy r&d spending sorry I lost one term here. So if we only look at if we only look at his upcoming energy way. we defined at the beginning we defined at the beginning renewable energy efficiency and as renewable energy efficiency and others, China.
others, China. actually action is a pastor the United action is a pastor the United States becomes a number one, but if States becomes a number one, but if we're including the nuclear energy r&b. as a unit as the United States becomes the United States becomes a just coming and. And the last message we would I And the last message we would I the last message we would, I would like to share.
is that is that the day is that the data I just to show is that the data I just to show his own his own government energy AR D and D. energy AR D and D. D R amp D. If we include If we include as a state owned If we include as a state owned enterprises.
especially especially state owned especially state owned s from China from India s from China from India, from south s from China from India, from south Africa, and Russia. actually Actually, we find that the Actually, we find that the state owned the end energy prices. energy enterprises. As dear. energy on the structure energy on the structure. So I
think that's make. a big nfluence implication implication for us. I think I think I will stop here. Thank you again. I would like to I would like to have questions.
in the the end. Thank you Dr. Joe. Mary very insightful research on very insightful research on tracking the process. ss of energy investment ss of energy investment globally and of energy investment globally and account also priority. and account also priority.
itize the future investment the future investment. So, next So, next. view So next I will.
invite our distinguished. d panel. Dr d panel. Dr. King
d panel. Dr. King d panel. Dr. King john is deployed panel. Dr. King junkies climate ahead at a senior. class climate policy specialist climate policy specialist, out investment Bank. And he used to work for the world And he used to work for the world Bank Group in promoting climate finance.
e and for the UN, in e and for the UN, in forging international climate and governance international climate and governance and collaboration. the floor the floyd yourself there john the floyd yourself there john. john thank you first. KD and good KD and good morning good afternoon, good evening colleagues again. colleagues again. then the first of all because.
lf of lf of be that lf of be, let me first the stank lf of be, let me first the stank it you for for it you for for organizing this says. ssion. So yeah, I'd be ssion. So he is very happy ssion. So he is very happy to join this wonderful panel to discuss join this wonderful panel to discuss this.
So, climate change. So, climate change, and is. is, is that say why is that say one of. kind of of defining. issue issues of our time issues of our time and unforced issues of our time. And
unfortunately, climate changing is unfortunately, climate changing is already happening. So, climate. the parents that but our scientific community but our scientific community had already observed about one already observed about 1.5 already observed about 1.5 degrees, increase. as of as of today, so as of today. So as a result, with
of today. So as a result, we start observing. and May and Maybe some colleagues here and Maybe some colleagues here, and people who have.
parties parties participants is from may have participants is from may have suffered directly from more. fruit frequent and more and more intensive. So what does it mean to So what does it mean to us. A or B A or B as the MD A or B as the MTV, Matt. Matt A or B as the MTV met multilateral development bank. So to us.
we are we are very clear that a bit we are very clear that business as your role is no longer and as your role is no longer an option. So over. information information and explore information and experience based on the past is on the past is no longer a good in on the past is no longer a good indication for the future, and the for the future projection. n. So for us n. So for us, we n. So for us, we have to work
together with. h over, our clients h over, our clients to build the h over, our clients to build the low carbon, and also climate Brazil low carbon, and also climate resilience infrastructure in order to cope ways in order to cope with the challenges going forward. on there On the other hand, we also here On the other hand, we also hear the good news, particularly from the. technological development technological development, space, so technological development space.
So the solar and wind. to have become. become. a cost costs, a competitor a cost competitive with the a cost competitive with the fossil fuel alternatives in many parts of the world. If many parts of the world. If we
want to reduce at least 40. st 45 which emissions by 20 st 45 which emissions by 2030, apparent today we have to agree apparent today we have to aggressively scale up the solar aggressively scale up the solar and wind. cries across the the globe and we also need the and we also need the technology called breakthroughs in many other called breakthroughs in many other sectors like. CCS carbon. CCS carbon.
capture capture and storage and the hydro capture and storage and hydrogen . I mean, ICT technology, knowledge I mean, ICT technologies could be. also very important because it also very important because it could it be the best enabler for could it be the best enabler for. helping the existing info helping the existing infrastructures to improve its premiere to improve its productivity and improve its productivity and also efficiency. cy us, they call cy. That's the carbon fee
That's the carbon footprint. So, in this So, in this case. ever and everything needs to. have a sense of urgency.
. The new technology is . The new technology needs to be tested in this ticket. you know You know that actually means a lot of money, so sick lot of money, so significant capital. l has to be Channeled it l has to be Channeled into the different spaces and area different spaces and area, you know know to achieve this economy Why do combination. the globe And then, what am And then what he is doing so And then what he is doing. So
what does the way do in this in this work. And so And so he was. his tab established and right after the established and right after the agreement of the Paris.
is accord, and is accord. And then we are still relatively young just far too photos relatively young just five to six years old. about x but actually we're aiming for big actually we're aiming for big. And we set up well we set up well we're competitive strategy.
y and committed to achieve y and committed to achieve at least a 50% of our least a 50% of our climate finance by 2025 finance by 2025 and. d one or two key d one or two key pillars over d one or two key pillars over there is about to the green interest there is about to the green infrastructure and technology le the infrastructure, just too the infrastructure, just to share a COuple of examples. es as a wine is way, invest as a wine is way invested in the. cloud climate fund to help climate fund to help climate fund to help with adaptation climate fund to help with adaptation technologies in the city. . The China The China, and then we'll. roduce roduce the electric vehicles roduce the electric vehicles and also optimize the transport.
ystem to make it a more intense ystem to make it a more intelligent to make it a more intelligent. We also invested in aI We also invested in aI, and the green data centers, and last green data centers, and lastly just want to share that. beer VIP his work is VIP his work is is about to launch VIP his work is is about to launch it infrastructure.
platform platform we could infer platform we called in for a tech Platform, which is open source. platform ormed in home ormed in hopefully to create a year ormed in hopefully to create an ecosystem for the USers, and they USers, and they that the and they that the project in mind. nd, to have the direct access nd, to have the direct access to the applicable technologies, so the applicable technologies. So let me end by saying that. hat he is committed to hat he is committed to finance for he is committed to finance for tomorrow.
Tomorrow infrastructure. e has to be green and e has to be green and sustainable and way standby under then we're happy to work with everyone. Hello Albert. Thank you. Thank you. Again, thanks you. Again, thanks for your help. . Bye understand.
of it the urgency of climate change the urgency of climate change and introduce well and introduce was multilateral. developed by developed bank like A IVR developed bank like A IV are doing to come back. Okay, our next Okay, our next panel is. is Dr Team, and when they said is Dr Team, and when is the founder of the shareholder. of the of the universe kosher of the universe culture in iCT Bo d. and. a marriage meritus professor of meritus professor of geography at Royal Holiday at University of at Royal Holiday at University of London.
It was formerly secretary jack It was formerly secretary General of the color built out a communication organization. on, editor of iCT on, editor of iCT for D at all on, editor of iCT for D, and author of reclaiming iCT for the. welcome Professor Elvis. l say chase Yeah, Kathy thank JCS Yeah, Kathy. Indeed, Allah it's a real privilege to be part of this panel.
I'm not going to use slides. but I but I am going to use but I am going to use changes but I am going to use changes in the background to give us. us an image of what us an image of what I'm talking about. I'm going to try and keep well within my five minutes. ing about. I'm going to try and
keep well within my five minutes but colleagues thank you for your scientific. present so far. so far. Because so far we've seen. climate climate change as the call climate change as the cause of lots of, lots of hands lots of, lots of hands. And if we do that we see carbon.
, reducing carbon as a solution , reducing carbon as a solution and focus, how do and focus, how digital tech. But there is a very. different different way of trying to look at different way of trying to look at these problems because, actually. climate change anything anything change doesn't cause anything. climb Climate change is the result of humor change is the result of human actions.
in influencing. the way the weather, the temperature of the the weather, the temperature the humidity the storms, the extreme events which we call. climate climate change and then a trip climate change and then attribute causality to it.
But if we see it as the if we see it as the way I'm if we see it as the way I'm suggesting here. Actually what we need to do it. do is design and use digital to do is design and use digital to chat tech to change those chat tech to change those human actions. Right rather than folks in crime rather than focusing primarily on carbon reduction.
And I'm going to say at the end but I'll say it here as well. By focusing primarily By focusing primarily on digital By focusing primarily on digital By focusing primarily on digital tech the carbon reduction digit. gital tech can cause gital tech can cause a wide gital tech can cause a wide range of other hormones range of other homes and range of other homes. And I say that because climate And I say that because climate change is Part of a very much change is Part of a very much wider set. of it of it of environmental changes of environmental changes and of environmental changes, and the it of environmental changes, and the iCU and others who have actually written. quite a lot quite a lot quite a long time about quite a long time about the fact that digital tech can cause.
positive positive benefits as well benefits, as we've heard, but. also negative environment negative environmental impacts, So last year, we. we developed a CO we developed a CO developed a COalition called desk.
the digital the digital environment system coalition, which is trying to coalition, which is trying to create a much more holistic under create a much more holistic understanding. ng of the interactions ng of the interactions between digital tech and the environment you digital tech and the environment, you You can find out more about it You can find out more about it at the You can find out more about it at the URL here, but very, very briefly here we have digital tech. ch its creation ch its creation its thoughts ch its creation it's thought it could its creation it's thought it could use it. repair repair it recycling its way repair it recycling it's waste, that has direct impact on the. physical physical environment and rather physical environment. And rather than just seeing the physical environment in terms of climate , we need to think, the Earth is , we need to think, the Earth is here the biosphere.
And as we've heard in the previous presentation. This is also mediated through energy production, and it's production, and it's situated within. hin a human context we hin a human context, we see the this is the yellow circles this is the yellow circles, the economic, political, social, and also terribly important the cultural values, the way much the way. Much of the dialogue around.
climb climate change has been created climate change has been created climate change has been created as essentially based on neo liberal Western ideology. which is which is completely different from say the. indigenous group working on indigenous group working on that So I'm encouraging us to. think think about these things in right think about these things in rather than different ways. My
own personal interests and I know there are shared by. some of some of you here is the impact some of you here is the impact of digital tech on the outer space environment. onment I hear me see me I can see images of the I can see images of the satellites going around Earth. We're seeing outer space. kind of the kind of the way but you see the oceans as a dumping ground and oceans as a dumping ground, and it's not incorporated the tool it most. models models of the viral of environment.
And another thing I'm particularly interested in is particularly interested in is what I call the antithesis. stainable business models are many stainable business models are many tech companies, you know the way in which you know you buy one new phone. phone on phone or digital that you have phone or digital that you have a new low range of software that you have to upgrade. you can You can't take the battery out of this, the right to repair again of this, the right to repair agendas and we need.
agendas and we need. a month a much better on the staff understanding of those pros understanding of those processes as well so new business models business models. So finally, and more So finally, and moderator, I hope I'm finally, and moderator, I hope finally, and moderator, I hope I'm in time. Just just, I would like you. ou to all, and everyone ou to all, and everyone listening remember one thing that. bye for by focusing primarily on carbon focusing primarily on carbon emissions.
So, thank you for advice thank you for inviting me to participate. e and I look forward to a lively this this e and I look forward to a lively discussion. I hope I've provoked discussion. I hope I've provoked at least some people in the audience today. Thank you, Jason. Yeah Thank you, Chase. Yeah.
Yeah. Thank you Dr G Yeah. Thank you Dr James he really did so. Yeah, yeah, very impressive visually Yeah, very impressive, they really need to have a holistic understanding of climate change. at all at our whole physical our whole physical environment. So, next.
So, next level. Welcome. Our last group Welcome. Our last great panel. l, Doctor. Why was the cool
l, Doctor. Why would the Kula shaker l, Doctor. Why would the cooler. She's research follow in the school of international studies in of International Studies in Italy. and a whiskey and a whiskey research fellow at the it you. ou cover the project looks ou cover the project looks at international experiences of digital international experiences of digital political empowerment in crowdsourcing.
emitted initiative on climate change initiative on climate change, and over to you Dr Seuss and over to you Dr. Roy. Thank you. And thank you And thank you for inviting me. And I hope you can see the And I hope you can see the slides today up here. Yeah, yeah, we can have tested yeah we can have tested. Thank you.
. I'm very very happy . I'm very happy to be here today in in such an exciting pan today in in such an exciting panel as well I think we're all different things to the table. And I very much hope you'll have the opportunity to talk about these issues also in the final week these issues also in the final week. So today I'm going to So today I'm going to talk just a little bit about my current project and you'll notice. there's a little bit there's a little bit different because I'm a dish associate because I'm a sociologist so I deal with the social and political political deal with the social and political issues around climate change, and I've tentatively titled this. climate climate change technology and issues change technology and issues of power, no power, the way. I mean I mean his political person talking his political person talking his political person talking in the sense of natural resources.
are elected or electricity here. And I'm going to tell you a little bit about how my car. untry such feeds into iCT untry such feeds into iCe teas and climate change adaptation. Right, so Right, so Right, so the project is title Right, so the project is titled international. experience experiences of digital experiences of digital experiences of digital in a climate justice friend. This is a project on.
whether whether parties whether participants initial whether participants initial climate change initiatives experienced political empowerment experienced political empowerment, when they join them. And if they do. do gain a sense of police do gain a sense of political empowerment. Now this is a nice clothes Now this is a nice good Oscar to rie funded action with several rie funded action with several partners, and the IQ is partners, and the IQ is one of the oven. enues for exploring for exploring this issue. for exploring this issue.
But the core of this project But the core of this project will be working with individuals. who you who use these initiatives who use these initiatives to gain insight into that individually gain insight into their individual experiences. s, and the underlying premise s, and the underlying premise of this project is that the use of iCT this project is that the user by citizen climate change mitigation as a matter of democracy. Let democracy. Let me explain that
in a moment. Right, so in theory. taken technology should have technology should empower why because it provides access to because it provides access to information.
either It allows us to distribute It allows us to distributed information as well. l. It means that people can consume l. It means that people can consume but also gain visibility for their own activities and we've seen a lot of that, as part of the forum already. We can connect with others and we can We can connect with others and we can join in conversation so we can also politically participate space. to the cities and the cities.
And in many ways this is already the focus of this forum the focus of this forum, and you will have noticed that empowerment. t has been quite a significant narrow has been quite a significant narrative here. ering different ering different social groups, different.
margin groups. but also but also regions that do not know but also regions that do not necessarily get. get a very strong voice in very strong voice in climate change mitigation. n and in attaining n and in attaining the ice n and in attaining the cities that they need for pros that they need for progress. What we've also seen is that there are significant barrier there are significant barriers in achieving. this empowerment and that this empowerment, and that is because technology itself is subject to certain populations subject to certain populations who owns technology.
, and who regulates it , and who regulates it ultimately affects if and how we can consume it. Technological innovation is Jen Technological innovation is generally not created or drill generally not created or driven bottom up. And the same incident applies And the same incident applies to climate effects and political climate effects and political decision making on technology and climate change. One way One way to look at this is One way to look at this, is that environmental effects. So for all these three.
areas technology climate areas technology climate areas technology climate effects in politics on climate issues. . The parties that produced . The parties that produced s. the parties that produce these are not necessarily the ones who consume it or effect ones who consume it or affected ones who consume it or affected by them.
Let us imagine an example and I've deliberately chosen a. picture fictional example because this fictional example because this fictional example because this is researching progress when working with People. And let us assume someone call let us assume someone Cosima is living. ng on a Pacific Island stronger ng on a Pacific Island strongly affected by global one customer will affected by global one customer will be affected by various will be affected by various permutations and inequality some political party. ipation ipation climate change is can climate change is can be social. material material in the technologies in the technologies, and they can also be political thing and they can also be political effects on a material level she will need to have a solid infrastructure on low Hello infrastructure, on a local level.
connectivity connectivity, access to devices access to devices at home or at work. through She also need the necessary also need the necessary skills to make us. of these, but beyond that of these, but beyond this this of these, but beyond this this specific climate effects she's experiencing. integration integration will also an actor, rising sea levels change rising sea levels change in weather conditions. are cheap are changing by diverse are changing by diversity own matter changing by diversity own matter in the way.
she can tackle these issues can tackle these issues, for example can tackle these issues, for example oceans are affected affected, which is often women affected, which is often women who take. care of communicates care of communicates to mitigate care of communicates to mitigate climate effects, they become community. and environmental. charisse charisse.
And of course the precise. climatological conditions climatological conditions will also determine what kind of politics and technologies. that particular region that particular which requires to flourish. h and how these are the unlimited h and how these are the unlimited risk h and how these are limited by restrictions imposed by Local governments and the commercial governments and the commercial entities that produce them. And for these technologies to.
to be successful in the long to be successful in the long to be successful in the long term, the technological salute term, the technological solutions will need to be Sustainable and work with a local standards as well. This is just to give you an idea of is just to give you an idea of the kind of. relations that will matter for relations that will matter for individuals and set the context. s and towards adapting s and towards adapting technology and s and towards adapting technology and make full use of these. these.
So what does all So what does all of that means, it means that. climate climate change adaptation change adaptation through technology. whether that is greentech whether that is greentech or the wider spectrum of iCT. CT is a complex CT is a complex, multi level CT is a complex, multi level and multi-stakeholder issue and to me me multi-stakeholder issue and many believe all of our, welcome many believe all of our panelists actually have already.
have already spoken to these issues. today to the complexity and the to the complexity and the multi stakeholder aspects of things. and people And we will definitely need And we will definitely need solutions that mirror, this solutions that mirror, this kind of complexity. technologies will need to be. created created with multiple created with multiple stakeholders, but also consider local conditions. and people and people that will ultimately you people that will ultimately use these technologies.
Otherwise we will create Otherwise we will create solutions that are either unusable. by the by the intended consumers by the intended consumers, or even by the intended consumers, or even harmful to their local conditions. If you If you look at some of the presenter If you look at some of the presentations that we've seen presentations that we've seen throughout this process already you will find that there's some.
some fantastic initiatives already we will create solutions that are either unusable by the intended consumers, or even harmful to the local conditions. If you look at some of the presentations that we've seen throughout this process already, you will find that there's some fantastic initiatives already from. desk in two years desk in two years desk him to yesterday screen sent in desk him to yesterday screen sent initiative, and the old try to involve. space social groups. coming communities, or in communities, or industries or create communities, or industries or create the links between them that we need to address these complexities and complexities.
these are conversations that we will continue continues. roughout the forum at roughout the forum, and I'm very much looking forward to continue much looking forward to continue then with all of you. That's all for me today. Thank That's all for me today. Thank you very much and thank you again for inviting me.
Thank you Dr fly Thank you Dr fly very. interesting interesting point yet point. Yes, the combination. on of climate change at a bit on of climate change at a digital technology and really bring new complexity for that bring new complexity, for the social equality and justice and. And here we need to save it here we need to say they still need to use.
a whole a holistic solution a holistic solution but here we need a holistic solution but here we need to combine technology and need to combine technology and sociology. Will discuss it later. ater in ater in in our panel discussion. After hearing all these Altima hearing all these old teammates. Now we. want to want to have an interactive this to have an interactive to have an interactive discussion.
we can we can see they are we can say we can see they are we can sit down there is a great diversity in our panelists today. but I but I think we can but I think we can still roughly. ughly, divide you into two divide you into two categories. Dr know our law, Dr know our law, Dr. Johnson and. nd Dr. Singh john nd Dr. Singh john
nd Dr. Singh john you I think you Dr. Singh john you I think you are more technology. related related. And, Doc related. And Dr team, and when
And Dr team, and when Doctors, why. y you are more focusing y you are more focusing on the imate change change, so. So, these are two essential these are two essential angles on. Justin addressing climate change at addressing climate change, and if if addressing climate change, and its effects. So for the. . So first, I will So first, I want to.
raise questions read question for the three read question for the three experts in. number n our technology cat our technology category, so. So I think I want So I think I want to ask to So I think I want to ask to promote the Sasquatch. affordable. , and a high standard grunts , and a high standard greentech for and a high standard greentech. What do you think you're What do you think your organization, or when you're organization, or within your organization of.
what the field of your work what the field of your work. to do do. Feel free to answer if you. think think you have already covered you have already covered this topic. in your in your previous big 10 in your previous beach you can just give us one or two cents just give us one or two sentences. Limit your comments, a 30 Minute your comments, a 30 Minute.
Thank you. te more please. Limit your comments, a 30 Minute. Thank you.
Maybe, yeah Maybe, yeah. You did raise. a kid a kid a question. In the end, we would like to. have for the tech have for the technologies work have for the technologies work for the society. , and especially when and especially what we're and especially what we're working for us.
s the people to pray the people to provide. agree our green, and also have our green, and also affordable technologies and energies technologies and energies for for technologies and energies for, for the people. from my view, I think from my view I think that's actually from my view I think that's that actually requires a very simple ly requires a very important to on in demand in demand side. agitate technologies. I think I think you're right I think you're right now on I think you're right now, or the.
from our research at the front from our research and from my understanding. ng of the energy enough ng of the energy enough ng of the energy innovation need literature's I think most I think most of our folks. course on the supply side. How to probe How to provide the How to provide the technologies How to provide the technologies that can provide. energy energies, but I think we should have energies, but I think we should also have more innovations.
on the the demand side. that to k. o km. The demand o km on the demand side but that's, you know, a more broad definition not only the. e energy efficiency taken e energy efficiency energy efficiency technologies energy efficiency technologies that are also some technologies are also some technologies that can.
some technology innovation or some technology innovation or just the business innovations that just the business innovations that can help to bring technology that can help to bring that can help to bring technologies to the People. Sometimes it's maybe just as the last it's maybe just as the last mile. effort effort to bring effort to bring effort to breed technologies to to breed technologies the twos. I think what that part, we need.
The government's, and also The government's, and also The government's, and also a lot of Institutions that effort. are more focused are more focused on the heart more focused on the hardcore technologies hundred. . And the way did And the way did. have a lot.
ot of Paul ot of policies Gentleman's ot of policies Gentleman's that can help to eat can help to incentivize them can help to incentivize this kind of innovations that. t can help to bring t can help to bring technologies can help to bring technologies tues to tues to to the, to the local. or two to the sometimes times to the sometimes more descent the sometimes more decentralized sometimes more decentralized people are.
house so I think. your suggestion from my. mind is that the. from the government point from the government point, there should be some.
e R Us e our r&d are. helpful. Yeah. helpful. Yeah. Thank you Dr. Jones Thank you Dr john Thank you Dr john.
You mentioned demand side innovation You mentioned demand side innovation, and also you mentioned, we need. a business business model innovation. a business a business companies to bring this technology to do these technologies to people these technologies to people. So, Dr not allowed. you have any you have any comments on this class you have any comments on this class and also Dr. Johnson.
was a suggestion. on. Yes. I'm sorry I think I raised my I'm sorry I think I raised my hand just because I'm writing to hand just because I'm writing to answer questions. rn rate right to me but I think right to me but I think that yeah since you asked, I think. yeah since you asked, I think. the speed speech and.
and from to my university one of from to my university one of. the best the best university in China the best university in China, I think the best university in China, I think industry and academia in China need work together and China need work together, and the linkage point. there There are many linkedIn reports ing I think standardization maybe ing I think standardization maybe the linkage point, we can bring together order in. nnovative nnovative technologies to technologies to be standardized. rdized that can be selling that can be the lingua franca further that can be the lingua franca for all sector, from.
om Russia relating soccer to circulate. te Academy, for sure onomy for shot I just have this our comments away. I would like to I would like to see more and more I would like to see more and more innovations to be more innovations to be available. to enable this. accessible accessible and affordable and and affordable, and the highest time.
sort of the joint effort by of the joint effort by of the joint effort by. by element elements from the industry by element elements from the industry I know from academia, as my brief comments. If you're as my brief comments. If you allow me I would like to.
allow me I would like to. take this chance to. answer answer answer your question first because it's direct to me as because it's direct to me as well because it's direct to me as well. So, I think it's fine So, I think, as far as smart as So, I think, as far as smart, KD to. put people into a group.
put people into a group. group. And this is in fact the matter group. And this is in fact the
matter if they are very short time to cultivate a group of time to cultivate a group of people with different. backgrounds backgrounds, first First of all, I think, by invite of all, I think, by inviting people from. diverse backgrounds. But, I think, is. not full not fully cracked to put not fully cracked to put the body in the or myself in the first body in the or myself in the first category because as. a base a business and business, and we are.
concerned concerned. Of course, it of course, essentially with tech today. ology in a way ology, innovation, but way ology, innovation, but we are concerned with me another things so we are things so we are concerned with standards. ation we are concerned with. a lot laws and policies laws and policies at we may laws and policies are to be made by law makers and. our regular organization organization as well so organization as well so I think when you take a.
a market Paul angle a market Paul angle a market Paul angle view it a market Paul angle view, including the. considered consideration for social for sociology, economics. yeah yeah they should Yeah, they should have analogy. have analogy. Let's come back to technology so as I mentioned, our our technology so as I mentioned, are we are going to put more and more research in Wiseman. and more research in Wiseman.
tment to target tment to target, some cut to target, some cutting edge to target, some cutting edge technology. technology. gy to enable green gy to enable green and now gy to enable green and net zero con to enable green and net zero carbon technologies. However, how we can make sure that how we can make sure it's a technology that really. unfair beneficial to the word to me to the word to be accepted.
