Driving innovation to advance the SDGs: free webinar

From reusable batteries to electric scooters, international standards are key enablers of new and growing innovations to support climate targets.

How they do this and what more is being done is the focus of a free webinar: IEC International Standards: enabling innovation for a sustainable future, held on 25 November 2024 13:00 - 14:00 (CEST).

IEC International Standards are critical drivers of innovation, providing the benchmarks that ensure new technologies are safe, efficient and work together. The public webinar features experts from IEC technical committees sharing examples of innovative work and how standards can be used to drive the innovation and contribute to the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and a safer, more sustainable world,

The webinar is part of the IEC Academy series - IEC and the SDGs: partnering for a safe, efficient and inclusive future - which explores how the electrotechnology sector helps to advance the SDGs and the role of IEC in supporting and facilitating that. The series covers topics such as renewable energy, smart grids and digitalization across a wide range of sectors including energy, transportation and healthcare.

By highlighting the practical applications of standards in addressing priority SDGs, the series contributes to informed decision-making and policy development. It is hoped that this series will inform the IEC community about the various processes in relation to the SDGs and actively contribute to the UN Summit for the Future.
