Green and digital transitions demand science-based indicators to guide decision-making and address climate goals; influencing investment strategies, regulatory decisions, and procurement processes, for a more sustainable future. Establishing a consensus on reporting metrics and applying a systems thinking approach is crucial for transparent and accurate assessments. Choosing technical solutions that align with environmental and sustainability objectives is paramount.

This webinar brings together thought-leaders from IEEE, industry, and other leading institutions to assess current methodologies for reporting on the impact of technology on the climate, their differences, limitations, and degree of comparability, and the importance of training staff who comprehend these frameworks. In addition, we will deep-dive into the importance of life cycle assessments surrounding products and sector-wide evaluations when making informed investments.

Key webinar takeaways will include:
• Tools and methodologies to measure the impact of technology on climate (Scope 1, 2 and 3) and the sustainability of industries
• Industry and government role in developing accurate, trusted and science-based sustainability and environmental impact assessment metrics
• Role of frameworks, regulations and standards in enabling a holistic and systems thinking approach to measurements and reporting
• Role of technologists and other domain experts in implementing and developing accurate reporting

This webinar is organized as part of the IEEE Technology Center for Climate webinar series Empowering The Green Tech Revolution: From Design to Deployment.
