The conversation examines how electrification is reshaping transport, buildings, and industry, why electric technologies are often dramatically more efficient than their fossil-fuel counterparts, and what this means for energy demand, system planning, and decarbonisation strategies. From electric vehicles and heat pumps to industrial process heat and thermal storage, the discussion explores the opportunities and barriers that will determine the pace of electrification over the coming decades.

As the global climate crisis intensifies, governments, industries, and communities worldwide face an increasing pressure to accelerate efforts toward achieving Net Zero emissions. Although the rapid adoption of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming the Information and Communications Technology (ICT) landscape, it presents both opportunities and challenges. While AI offers powerful tools to optimize energy use, […]

We are happy to share this strategic report–AI and Climate Change: The Global South Facing the New Geopolitics of Innovation–written by Lori Regattieri and jointly launched by CIPÓ and the Green Screen Coalition. The report articulates key connections between energy infrastructures, climate justice and purported AI solutions for the “energy transition”. Their work argues for multilateral, pluriversal, and multisectoral approaches to digital infrastructure and industrial policy. The report names the violence of the “logic of expansion” and the fallacies of transition, which “simultaneously drives energy regimes and artificial intelligence systems”. Lori’s critique on the entanglement of many different social and political issues in Brazil is critical in a time where the technology industry lays the groundwork to be the saviors of COP30 in Belem, Brazil. With COP less than two months away, the report provides a powerful framing for those curious about the industrial dynamics in the region, and the ontological logic underpinning them.
