WTO Public Forum Sparks Debate on Green Tech & Digital Future
The World Trade Organization’s biggest annual event, the Public Forum, kicked off this week with a focus on merging digital innovation and sustainability 🌍. Hosted by CGTN’s Tian Wei, the session titled ‘The Digital Boost to Green Innovation’ brought together governments, entrepreneurs, and academics to brainstorm how tech can accelerate eco-friendly solutions – from renewable energy to smart agriculture.
💡 Key topics? How AI and blockchain can track carbon footprints, why digital tools are critical for inclusive climate policies, and whether global trade rules need a ‘green upgrade’ to support startups. Spoiler: Young professionals and students are driving much of this shift! 🚀
‘This isn’t just about gadgets,’ said one panelist. ‘It’s about creating systems where tech helps everyone – from small farmers in Kenya to clean-energy investors in Berlin – benefit from sustainable growth.’
