Climate change is one of the most pressing challenges facing humanity and we continue to see its impacts, including: frequent extreme weather events; food and water insecurity; displacement of vulnerable populations; increase in temperatures; wildfires and droughts; reduction of wildlife populations and biodiversity; lower agricultural yields; sea-level rises and daily loss of forest.

The mission of the GSMA's ClimateTech Programme is to unlock the power of digital technology for climate action to create a low-carbon, climate resilient, and environmentally sustainable future. Through our research activities, we identify, promote and inform opportunities for digital innovation and develop pathways for aligning climate action with the sustainable development agenda. We also catalyse vital partnerships between the GSMA, the mobile industry, tech innovators, governments and the development sector with the aim of reducing fragmentation, facilitating scale and promoting collective action.
