We are fast reaching a tipping point, and it is now or never in our push for net-zero and to reverse climate change. It will be no easy feat for businesses, who must undergo a fundamental mindset shift and overhaul their operations to pursue renewable alternatives and improve efficiency.
Promisingly, advancements in 5G and technology will go a long way to catalyse these efforts. The increased connectivity will not only drive improvements in the Internet of Things – to expand electricity networks – but also sharpen AI capabilities for more precise forecasting of renewable energies. That said, as businesses decarbonise and turn to new power grids, it is imperative that they remain vigilant and implement robust cyber standards. Only then can they fend against evolving threats in the digital, connected era, and sustain these green efforts in the long run.
