Therefore, the GSMA\u2019s AI for Impact Initiative has been working with a group of mobile operators to fast-track solutions to the transport emissions crisis, using mobile data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many mobile operators offer products and services that provide timely, data-driven insights. These have helped governments make informed strategic decisions, most recently during the Covid-19 pandemic. Mobile operators are building on this experience, focusing attention on transport emissions in order to provide actionable insights at a high level of granularity. The approach is underpinned by data privacy guidelines and AI ethics principles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Read the information sheet to discover how mobile operators can help governments, urban planners, and other transport sector decision-makers build data-driven solutions for tackling emissions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"AI for Impact: Climate action powered by data\" width=\"900\" height=\"506\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/8o6scL3-rDA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Climate change is the most pressing problem facing humanity.
