SUMMARY:Digitalisation powering environmental protection
DESCRIPTION:The European Union Delegation to the United Nations in Geneva\, the Permanent Mission of Switzerland to the UN in Geneva\, the Permanent Mission of Slovenia to the UN Office and other international organisations in Geneva in the capacity as Presidency of the Council of the EU\, and the Geneva Internet Platform\, in partnership with the International Research Centre for Artificial Intelligence (IRCAI) invite you to a series of dialogues – From Geneva: Reflections on digital future – on issues of importance for the Geneva and global audiences. \nRegistrations are open \nRegister×\nDigital revolution is changing the way we work\, live and solve challenges. Numerous ground-breaking opportunities for environmental protection and climate action are offered by new technologies and digitalisation. AI for example can strengthen climate predictions\, enable smarter decision-making for decarbonizing industries and show us the effects of extreme weather\, just to name a few. \nAs we strive for digital economies that will put people at their heart\, foster international development and protect human rights and freedoms we also need a better understanding of the environmental footprint of our economic development\, including ICT’s growing carbon footprint. \nUN Secretary’s General Roadmap for Digital Cooperation warns that operations related to ICT are expected to represent up to 20 per cent of global electricity demand\, with one third stemming from data centres alone. Therefore\, how can we truly benefit from the technology’s environmental solutions and use the digital revolution to advance environmental stewardship? How can we appropriately harness digital opportunities while limiting adverse effects of digitalisation on the environment? How can we build strong partnerships among regions to support digital transition that powers environmental protection across the globe? \nJoin us on Thursday\, October 14th at 14:00 UTC (10:00 EDT | 16:00 CEST | 22:00 CST) \nSpeakers: \n\nIlias Iakovidis\, Advisor\, Green digital transformation\, DG CONNECT\, European Commission\nDavid Jensen\, Coordinator of the Digital Transformation Task Force at the United Nations Environment Programme\nMitja Jermol\, Program Committee Chair in AI and Circular Economy\, International Research Centre for AI\nReyna Ubeda\, Project Officer\, International Telecomunication Union\nFlurina Wäspi\, Consultant\, Policy Network of Environment and Digitalisation\, Secretariat of the Internet Governance Forum\n\nOther events in the series: \n\nData economy: human-centric approach at the forefront – 22 September\, 16 – 17.00 CEST\nHarnessing AI’s Power for Health – 3 November\, 14 – 15.00 CET\nTechnology for Development – date TBC\n\n\nRegister

SUMMARY:Radio and TV broadcasting: Diplomacy going live [A historical journey #9]
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, 28th October | 12:00 UTC (08:00 EDT | 14:00 CEST | 20:00 CST). Registrations open! \nIn October episode of History of Diplomacy and Technology\, we will analyse the beginning of radio and TV broadcasting and how they influenced diplomacy. \nRegistrations are open \nRegister×\nThe basis for radio broadcasting was created by technological breakthroughs in wireless communication. Both Guglielmo Marconi and Reginald Fessenden were attempting to create a wireless telephone\, but their pursuit resulted in something else. The technology developed for wireless telephony was used in one-way radio broadcasting. \nOrson Welles’ radio drama The War of the Worlds was an early example of the power of radio broadcasting. His ‘announcement’ of the start of the war with the Martians created panic in the United States. \nSince its invention in 1926\, and the beginning of commercial use six years later by the BBC\, television has become a main news and entertainment medium. The golden years of television during the 1970s and 1980s saw that  prime-time TV was a new\, real-time way of addressing a wide audience and becoming an integral part of their everyday lives. For the first time\, we were able to see and hear world news as it happened\, and countries and diplomats started using TV as a two-way channel: first as a quick source of information\, and second\, as a powerful tool for public diplomacy and for conveying their messages. \nTo see what impact the radio and TV had on shaping public opinion\, tune in for our October Masterclass with Jovan Kurbalija: ‘Radio and TV broadcasting: Diplomacy going live’\, on October 28th\, at 14:00 CET. \n\nRegister
