There is vast potential for AI, 5G and the Metaverse to be applied towards advancing the Environment, Social and Governance (ESG) cause, including Sustainability. Our global economy is facing challenges and the tragic warfare in Ukraine has had consequential impacts on energy supply for much of Europe and beyond. Indeed, McKinsey forecast that $275 Trillion may have to be spent in the period to 2050 (ranging from circa 7% to 9% of global GDP) to achieve carbon next zero. There is a strategic imperative for the EU, UK and the US (following the adoption of the Inflation Reduction Act in 2022) to push for accelerating the scaling and adoption of renewable energy and advancing battery storage technology at a time when action on Climate Change is a high priority and also the need to diversify energy supplies is growing. AI technology may play a key role in helping scale these areas.
