About the Session
Artificial intelligence (AI) is reshaping the global economy — and with it, the environmental footprint of the digital world. As AI accelerates, so does its energy demand, raising urgent questions about how innovation and sustainability can evolve together.
This side event, part of the Standards Pavilion @COP30, will explore how International Standardscan guide the responsible development and use of AI, ensuring transparency, accountability, and resource efficiency while reducing emissions across the tech ecosystem.
Organized with the Coalition for Sustainable AI, the session will showcase how ISO, the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), and partners are joining forces to build an eco-responsible digital future.
