The World Trade Organization (WTO) held its annual Public Forum, focusing on the theme “The Digital Boost to Green Innovation.” The event gathered representatives from governments, businesses, academia, media, and intergovernmental organizations to discuss the intersection of digitalization and sustainable development.
This year, CGTN host Tian Wei chaired a pivotal session exploring how digital technologies can accelerate green innovation. Addressing a diverse audience, Tian Wei emphasized the critical role of digital solutions in tackling environmental challenges and building a more inclusive society.
Participants delved into topics such as the implementation of digital tools to reduce carbon emissions, the promotion of sustainable industries through technology, and the importance of international collaboration in fostering innovation. The discussions highlighted the need for a cohesive approach to integrate digital advancements with green initiatives, particularly within the rapidly evolving economies of Asia.
The forum underscored the significance of strengthening the multilateral trading system to support these objectives. By leveraging digitalization, stakeholders aim to create sustainable economic growth while addressing global environmental concerns. The insights from the forum are expected to influence policy-making and encourage investment in green technologies across the region.
