The IMD International Alumni Association is the official home to a global network of extraordinary leaders who share ideas and shape the future for a more sustainable, prosperous, and inclusive world.
The world is constantly getting smarter. Digitalization surrounds us and permeates our every activity and, while AI and machine learning bring us undoubted benefits, the runaway train of technology can also seem very threatening. How should we respond to it, and how can we cope with uncertainty in an increasingly uncertain world?
As worldwide concerns rise around the impact of climate change, resource depletion, and unplanned urbanization, sustainable and smart spaces are becoming increasingly important. These spaces are designed to minimize environmental impact of human activities and maximize the efficient use of resources, while ensuring a high quality of life for all.
At L&T Technology Services, we realize the importance of leveraging technology and innovation in engineering a sustainable tomorrow. And hence, our vision of Sustainable Smart World, a synergy of digital engineering technologies for driving the future.
Sustainable smart world, therefore, is essential for creating a more robust, reliable, and resilient future for all. By designing spaces that are environmentally responsible, resource efficient, and promote health and well-being, LTTS is helping create a better world for future generations.
i-BEMS is a proprietary building automation framework that operates as an enterprise IoT solution & unifies all campus operations under one system using advanced energy analytics & fault diagnostics for energy optimization.
As inter-connectivity and the rise of digital engineering redefines the world around us, the growing availability of data has come as a boon and a curse. This is especially true of the critically important utility industries.
Climate change and food and nutrition insecurity pose two of the greatest development challenges of our time. Yet a more sustainable food system can not only heal the planet, but ensure food security for all.
Today, the global agrifood system emits one-third of all emissions. Global food demand is estimated to increase to feed a projected global population of 9.7 billion people by 2050. Traditionally, the increase in food production has been linked to agricultural expansion, and unsustainable use of land and resources. This creates a vicious circle, leading to an increase in emissions.
Without significant climate mitigation action in the agri-food sector, the Paris Agreement goals cannot be reached. Agriculture is the primary cause of deforestation, threatening pristine ecosystems such as the Amazon and the Congo Basin. Without action, emissions from food systems will rise even further, with increasing food production.
The global agrifood system must therefore deliver on multiple fronts. It must feed the world, adapt to climate change, and drastically reduce its greenhouse gas emissions. In response to these challenges, the concept of Climate-smart Agriculture (CSA) has emerged as a holistic approach to end food security and promote sustainable development while addressing climate change issues.
CSA is a set of agricultural practices and technologies which simultaneously boost productivity, enhance resilience and reduce GHG emissions. Although it is built on existing agricultural knowledge, technologies, and sustainability principles, CSA is distinct in several ways. First, it has an explicit focus on addressing climate change in the agrifood system. Second, CSA systematically considers the synergies and tradeoffs that exist between productivity, adaptation, and mitigation. And third, CSA encompasses a range of practices and technologies that are tailored to specific agro-ecological conditions and socio-economic contexts including the adoption of climate-resilient crop varieties, conservation agriculture techniques, agroforestry, precision farming, water management strategies, and improved livestock management. By implementing these practices, triple win results can be achieved:
2. Enhanced resilience: Reduce vulnerability to droughts, pests, diseases and other climate-related risks and shocks; and improve the capacity to adapt and grow in the face of longer-term stresses like increased seasonal variability and more erratic weather patterns.
Finally, funding for CSA needs to be increased to align available finance with the relevance of the sector. Despite causing one third of global greenhouse gas emissions, agrifood systems receive 4% of climate finance, with only a fifth of this going to smallholders. Current financial flows need to be realigned in order to support a sustainable agrifood system transformation.
The World Bank has significantly scaled up its engagement and investment in climate-smart agriculture (CSA). In its Climate Change Action Plan (2021- 2025), the World Bank has identified Agriculture, Food, Water and Land as one of the five key transitions needed to tackle the Paris Agreement. Since the adoption of the Paris Agreement, the World Bank has increased financing for CSA by eight times, to almost $3 billion annually.
The World Bank engages strategically with countries, supporting them to enhance productivity, improve resilience and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The World Bank uses the following tools, diagnostics and other analytics to help countries in the transition towards sustainable agriculture.
