The Climate Pledge

All companies have a role to play in investing in solutions to protect the planet and the economy. And all companies – including Amazon – have work to do to further reduce their operations’ carbon footprint and carbon intensity. In addition to being the right thing to do, taking ambitious climate action can spur innovation that helps a business and its customers. 

The Climate Pledge is a commitment to reach net-zero carbon emissions by 2040—10 years ahead of the Paris Agreement. Amazon co-founded The Climate Pledge in 2019 to build a cross-sector community of companies, organizations, individuals, and partners working together to address the climate crisis and solve the challenges of decarbonizing our economy.

    Cloud Technology Helps Scientists Move Faster to Save Endangered Species (RONIN)

    Researchers at the University of Sydney are building a digitized genomic library to meet Australia’s conservation goals.

    At the University of Sydney’s Australasian Wildlife Genomics Group, Senior Research Manager Dr. Carolyn Hogg is creating a genomic legacy database and an online tool to assist with conservation efforts and breeding programs for Australia’s threatened species. The technology is accessible to conservation managers and researchers around the world and allows Dr. Hogg’s team to manage a massive amount of data on a small research budget, focus its energy on analytics (not IT), and move with the urgency that climate change demands.

    How five key industries use AI, machine learning and the cloud to meet their sustainability goals

    Technology innovation is helping some of the largest producers of greenhouse gases to drastically cut emissions. Learn how they’re doing it.

    Reducing carbon emissions usually comes down to achieving greater efficiency in the use of energy and materials. Improving efficiency requires detailed mapping and monitoring of very complex systems such as factories, electrical grids, HVAC systems and logistics routings. Increasingly, these environments are outfitted with sensors, and artificial intelligence excels at finding patterns in the huge amounts of data that these sensors collect, says Bratin Saha, vice president of machine learning services at Amazon.
