Delta's Innovative Role at COP30

Delta has proudly marked its 18th consecutive appearance at the 30th United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP30) taking place in Belém, Brazil. This year, the event is underscored by the theme of "Climate Adaptation," reflecting the pressing need to address the challenges posed by climate change. In this context, Delta has taken the opportunity to collaborate with global organizations to host two key events in the official negotiation zone on November 17 and 19, focusing on coral restoration and the promotion of green building practices, all underpinned by its pioneering "AI for Green" approach.

The significance of Delta's initiatives at COP30 lies in its partnership with respected entities such as BNP Paribas, the Plymouth Marine Laboratory, and the International Coral Reef Society. Together, they will explore strategies for sustainable ocean development amidst the increasing existential threats posed by climate change. The collaboration highlights not just corporate responsibility but a unified global effort towards creating actionable solutions for the future of our oceans and coastal communities.

Shan Shan Guo, Vice Chairperson of the Delta Electronics Foundation, expressed Delta's enduring commitment to addressing climate challenges through technological advancements. Recently, the foundation was honored with the First Corporate Ocean Sustainability Contribution Award, recognizing its foundational work in ocean restoration efforts. Delta's innovative measures at COP30 include:
1. AI for Green: By employing artificial intelligence, Delta aims to accelerate coral identification processes and build a robust biodiversity database.
2. LEED AI Teaching Assistant: This tool is designed to assist experts in swiftly understanding carbon reduction metrics and biodiversity standards, marking a significant step toward green building education within the Chinese-speaking world.

Wim Chang, CEO of the Delta Electronics Foundation, emphasized the foundation's experience at climate summits, stating that they have hosted 32 events in the past and have successfully secured a spot this year to host a side event. Jointly themed as "How to be SMART in meeting ocean-climate-societal challenges in a changing landscape," discussions will center around the hurdles faced by oceans and local communities as they navigate the tumultuous impacts of climate change.

Delta aims to showcase how it utilizes innovative technologies and cross-industry collaborations to further coral restoration efforts along with marine conservation applications. This is not merely about formal participation; it's about actively shaping solutions to meet environmental challenges.

The message is further reinforced by Delta’s participation in the “Building and Cooling Pavilion,” co-hosted by the Global Alliance for Buildings and Construction and the Cool Coalition, as they unveil the LEED AI Teaching Assistant. This initiative seeks to support the implementation of sustainable building practices striving towards achieving nearly zero emissions and creating resilient structures by 2030.

In its role as an official observer to both the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change and the Convention on Biological Diversity, the Delta Electronics Foundation continues to play a vital role in conveying the latest international trends in negotiations, carbon reduction methodologies, and adaptation strategies back to Taiwan. The goal is clear: foster technological innovation, engage in educational outreach, and partnerships globally to seek tangible solutions against climate change impacts.

Delta's efforts at COP30 are a testament to its commitment as a leader in the field of sustainable technology and environmental advocacy. With collaborative workflows between industries and the application of advanced technologies, the company sets a standard for meaningful contributions towards global climate action and ocean sustainability.
