Skills for the green and digital transition Thursday, 19 September 2024 : 09:30 – 10:45 Green and digital transitions are interconnected and mutually reinforcing. While digital technologies facilitate the monitoring and management of environmental resources and processes, sustainability principles can guide the development and deployment of digital solutions in a responsible manner. Potential job losses due to digitalisation may be partially compensated by the green transition. Both transitions also create new jobs and require new skills for the successful and just transition for all. This session will address the following questions: What are essential effects from the green and digital transitions on jobs and skills? What skills (digital and beyond) are required to minimize and mitigate the impact of climate change, including from the digital transition itself? What are policy measures and good practice examples of skills development for just green and digital transitions?

This poses challenges to employers, workers, educators, policy makers, researchers and other stakeholders in the digital transformation ecosystem. This session will bring together different stakeholders, to address the following questions: Which economic sectors will be most impacted by AI technologies? What key skills will be most influenced by AI advancements? What are concrete examples of AI technologies (e.g. generative AI technologies) that will shape future skills and jobs? What are effective policy measures to address those needs and challenges? How should Governments respond?

(Visit: http://www.uctv.tv/) 0:13 - Introduction 4:44 - Navigating the Perilous Waters at the Edge of Glaciers to Understand Sea Level Rise 49:21 - Audience Questions Collapsing ice shelves and calving of large icebergs in Greenland and Antarctica have recently become major drivers of sea level rise. The rapidity of these changes has come as a surprise, revealing major gaps in our understanding of how ice sheets respond to a changing climate. To a large extent, these gaps are due to the lack of measurements from the marine edge of glaciers - the Achilles' heel of glaciers. For over a decade, since the glaciers in Greenland began their retreat, Fiammetta Straneo and her group at Scripps Institution of Oceanography have been probing the edge of massive calving glaciers in iceberg-choked fjords in Greenland using helicopters, icebreakers, fishing vessels, and autonomous vehicles. The understanding gained through these measurements is being used in models aimed at improving sea-level rise predictions. Recorded on 05/13/2019. Series: "Jeffrey B.

The scientific consensus is that human activity is cooking the planet. Does President-elect Trump calling it a hoax embolden others in denial?

Many people are concerned about the climate and deeply anxious that the new administration will double down on fossil fuels and erase recent climate progress. Ten years ago Republicans John McCain and Lindsay Graham supported fighting climate change. But the party has changed it’s tune in recent years.

Climate scientist Michael Mann and Pulitzer-Prize winning cartoonist Tom Toles take a satirical look at how the issue became so divisive. Cristine Russell is a veteran science journalist with deep knowledge about the politicization of science. Renee Lertzman gets to the psychology of it all. Are we all in denial to some extent? Can better communication help us expand common ground and move on to solutions? Join us for a fun and informative look at manufactured doubt and genuine skepticism.
