Fresh thinking needed if tech is to help fight climate change

The IPCC has re-iterated its concern that

climate change is a serious threat to human safety and security in its latest series of reports. And while energy, transport, water, tourism and health are highlighted as being particularly vulnerable, markets connect different sectors to each other in a way that puts many more at risk too.
We need bright ideas to help industries in this turbulence and in doing so, we will produce technologies and services that will make life better for us all in the long term.
The impacts of climate change in one area spill over into others. That has never been more true than in the present day, when digital technologies allow us to overcome space and time and cause industries to blur into each other.
