N. Venu, MD & CEO, India and South Asia, Hitachi Energy
As we draw the curtain on 2023, the world stares at the rapid depletion of natural resources and imminent climate changes impacting the ecosystem. Global average temperatures were already inching above pre-industrial levels (+1.8°C), and greenhouse gas emissions reached a new high (57.4 GtCO2e in the previous recorded year). This ongoing phenomenon has brought the world together to phase down fossil fuel usage for a sustainable future.
