'Don’t be distracted by the usual suspects flooding the zone.'

Beijing has a track record of only promising what it plans to deliver. But too often the world’s attention is elsewhere, writes @oxmartinschool.bsky.social and @ecioxford.bsky.social's Dr Kai Jiang ⬇️ #OxfordClimate

Evidence over noise.

At Oxford Energy Day I argued for policy led by data, not click-bait, point-scoring, or misinformation.

Great discussion on how to use data better, where gaps remain, and the benefits evidence can unlock.

Full recording available soon!

Fabulous talk at Oxford Energy Day @oxfordenergy.bsky.social by Felippa Amanta @ecioxford.bsky.social. Making the case that the indirect impacts of AI on climate are more important than its direct use of energy. Need to be mindful of the role of data and AI in the energy transition.
