As stated in Article 2 of the Agreement: ‘This Agreement […] aims to strengthen the global response to the threat of climate change […] holding the increase in the global average temperature to well below 2°C above pre-industrial levels and pursuing efforts to limit the temperature increase to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels, recognizing that this would significantly reduce the risks and impacts of climate change”.
To conclude, this TechSprint seems to me a well-designed contribution to foster innovation in an area, such as the fight against climate change, where both data and methodological gaps prevent accurate and sound data-driven solutions. It attempts to spur the public and private sector to identify profitable cooperative solutions aimed at achieving sustainable development goals.
