About

Artificial intelligence is becoming a major force shaping energy systems, industrial competitiveness and climate action. It can support renewable energy integration, grid stability, energy efficiency and emissions monitoring. At the same time, the rapid growth of AI infrastructure is increasing electricity demand across data centers, semiconductor supply chains and digital systems. This creates an urgent need to scale clean energy, strengthen accountability and ensure that AI growth supports, rather than slows, global decarbonization. This dialogue will focus on how innovation, policy and finance can work together to support a sustainable AI era.
