First in COP History: Digitalization Day
On November 16, COP29 will feature Science, Technology, and Innovation / Digitalization Day. This marks the first-ever Digitalization Day in COP history, introduced by Azerbaijan – the COP29 Presidency – which has made digital development and the creation of a modern innovation ecosystem a national priority.
Digital technologies play a crucial role in combating climate change. However, they also have negative aspects, such as energy consumption and electronic waste.
The first Digitalization Day will focus on mitigating the environmental impacts of technologies and encourage joint action among stakeholders for a sustainable digital transformation.
