Concrete production, responsible for 8% of global CO2 emissions, typically lasts 50-100 years. Extending its durability to 200 years or more would significantly reduce the 4 billion tons of CO2

Concrete production, responsible for 8% of global CO2 emissions, typically lasts 50-100 years. Extending its durability to 200 years or more would significantly reduce the 4 billion tons of CO2 produced annually by its manufacture.

Our guest, Martin Halliwell, holds over 10 patents for "Earth honoring systems" designed to lower CO2 emissions in construction. His innovations include more durable concrete and integrated geothermal and windmill installations.

The increasing use of digital technologies globally raises concerns about their impact on employment and skills. While automation replaces certain tasks, it also creates new jobs demanding updated skills, requiring millions to reskill or upskill.

This session will address how digital transformation impacts jobs and skills development, exploring core challenges, opportunities, and innovative strategies to enhance global workforce capabilities. It will highlight best practices for fostering digital skills, considering youth, women, and aging workers.

Moderated by Mr. Juan Iván Martín Lataix (International Labour Organization), the panel features experts from Stanford University, Mexico, Gabon, and Kenya, offering diverse perspectives on digital skills for the future of work.

On September 18, 2024, two sessions will explore the critical impact of digital transformation on jobs and skills. The first, "Digital skills for jobs," will address global challenges and

On September 18, 2024, two sessions will explore the critical impact of digital transformation on jobs and skills. The first, "Digital skills for jobs," will address global challenges and opportunities, focusing on strategies to enhance workforce skills for diverse demographics. Experts from the International Labour Organization (ILO), Stanford, and other organizations will discuss best practices for digital skills development.

The second session, "Industry perspective on skills needs," will feature leaders from companies like Microsoft, Huawei, and SAP. They will discuss core skills for digital transformation, identify growth sectors, and share how companies adapt through skilling programs and talent acquisition. This aims to inform policymakers and training institutions on market demands.

Oxford data scientist Hannah Ritchie debunks the overpopulation myth, a concern prominent since the 1960s. While global population is still growing, its rate has significantly slowed, contrary to earlier exponential growth assumptions. Ritchie, a lead researcher at Our World in Data and Oxford, specializes in environmental sustainability.
