Frequently asked questions
- Why the IBM Sustainability Accelerator was launched?
IBM believes that science, technology, and innovation can help tackle environmental issues while helping communities to address societal needs.
- According to the World Bank, climate-related disasters and natural hazards push 26 million people into poverty each year, putting these populations in need of technical, financial, and institutional resources that enable communities to respond to climate change, support climate adaptation and build resiliency.
- By uniting experts and technology, IBM wanted to find a way to scale and speed up solutions, such as for climate change mitigation, that support underrepresented communities most vulnerable to environmental threats through the lens of environmental justice.
At IBM, we believe that technology has the potential to transform lives when directed with purpose. That’s why we’ve designed this program to have a bigger, long-term sustainable societal impact with the power of science and technologies such as hybrid cloud and AI.
The IBM Sustainability Accelerator has had fifteen engagements, each with a different non-profit or government organization, divided into 3 cohorts: sustainable agriculture, clean energy, and water management.
