Generative AI to Enhance Creativity, Automate Routine Tasks for Future Jobs

Large language models (LLMs) have the most potential to benefit jobs that involve critical thinking and complex problem-solving skills, according to a new World Economic Forum white paper.

Businesses and governments must take proactive steps to prepare for the effects of AI in the workforce, including creating an adaptable workforce and implementing systems that facilitate job transitions.
Jobs most at risk of disruption are those that involve routine and repetitive language tasks; jobs with a high degree of personal interaction or physical movement will be least affected.
How will large language models (LLMs), deep-learning algorithms that can recognize, summarize, translate, predict and generate content using very large datasets, affect current and future jobs? That is the focus of the new World Economic Forum white paper Jobs of Tomorrow: Large Language Models and Jobs.

EU Parliament vote on carbon removals certification sets the foundations for the recognition of products’ role in achieving climate neutrality

Climate models exploring how we can still limit global warming partly rely on technological and natural solutions to remove CO2 from Earth’s atmosphere, and these ‘carbon removals’ could also help in substituting fossil-based materials and doing away with related emissions. These solutions have been recognised by the EU as a way to reach its climate objectives, supported by the pulp and paper sector. The European Parliament’s vote today on the certification of carbon removals, clearly differentiating between biogenic and fossil carbon, is a step in making this a reality.

Pulp and paper manufacturers are innovating their way out of CO2 emissions

The pulp and paper sector has already decoupled growth and CO2 emissions for several decades, but it remains energy-intensive. To go even further in its commitment to climate change mitigation it bets on breakthroughs in an array of technologies, which could reduce the sector’s energy needs by as much as 80%, and on a formidable potential to install renewable energy directly on-site. A recent acceleration in progress have been spurred by unprecedented collaboration amongst industry actors.

A new report from the Alliance of CEO Climate Leaders calls on businesses and governments to further slash carbon emissions to meet the Paris Climate Agreement goals.

Climate CEO Alliance: Cut Global Emissions 7% Annually to 2030 to Maintain Paris-Agreed Global Warming Limit

A new report from the Alliance of CEO Climate Leaders calls on businesses and governments to further slash carbon emissions to meet the Paris Climate Agreement goals.

Global Emissions are currently rising by 1.5% per year, they must fall by 7% every year to 2030 to keep 1.5 alive.
The State of Climate Action says collaboration and ‘dramatic action’ is needed to achieve net-zero national and corporate commitments and ensure a just transition.
The Alliance also highlights in an open letter policies and actions needed to bring about emissions cuts, including the phase-out of fossil fuels and scale-up of renewable energy.
