Germans Believe Digital Tech Key to Climate Fight
A recent study by the Borderstep Institute and the University of Zurich reveals the German public's views on climate change and digitalization. The findings suggest a strong belief in the role of digital technologies in combating climate change.
The study found that 78% of Germans believe the fight against climate change is inseparable from digitalization. This sentiment is echoed by 33% of Germans who expect a technological solution to the climate problem within the next decade. The fear of climate change consequences is also widespread, with 79% of Germans expressing concern.
Digital technologies are seen as a key to significant reductions in greenhouse gas emissions. The study suggests that these technologies could potentially cut forecast CO2 equivalent emissions in Germany by up to 37% by 2030. Some examples of these digital solutions include smart grids, automated heating and cooling systems in buildings, smart mobility services, and the application of AI in industry.
The German public's confidence in digital technologies to combat climate change is evident. With the potential to reduce emissions significantly, these technologies are seen as a crucial tool in the fight against climate change. However, the specific details of the study, including the scientists involved, remain unclear due to limited search results.
