\tRepresentatives from the mobile industry, finance and development sectors took to the stage at the Concordia Summit in New York today (24 September) to discuss ways to use mobile tech to tackle climate change and other global challenges.<\/p>\n

GSMA director general Mats Granryd (pictured, right) highlighted the mobile industry\u2019s recently announced climate initiative [1] and explained how mobile is also enabling others to do similar, across both the public and private sectors.<\/p>\n

\u201cScale is important and that is best achieved by partnerships, so there\u2019s never been a better time for true public-private-partnerships.\u201d<\/p>\n

Orange CEO Stephane Richard (pictured, second from right) added: \u201cEvery industry needs to organise and make commitments [to meeting the SDGs], and figure out how to do so collectively.\u201d<\/p>\n

Granryd cited several datapoints from the 2019 edition of the GSMA\u2019s Mobile Industry Impact Report [2], which tracks the industry\u2019s role in contributing to delivery of the SDGs year-on-year. He revealed 1.4 billion people worldwide were now using mobile-based education tools, a rise of 140 million since 2017, and 1.3 billion were also using mobile health services, an increase of 230 million.<\/p>\n

Marisa Drew, CEO of Impact Advisory and Finance at Credit Suisse (pictured, second from left), said mobile was \u201cunlocking so much opportunity across the SDGs\u201d, providing examples around agriculture, healthcare and education.<\/p>\n

She added the \u201cintersection of finance and tech\u201d was allowing banks such as Credit Suisse to enable investments and increase capital flows into areas of social good.<\/p>\n

Elizabeth Yee, MD of climate and resilience operations at The Rockefeller Foundation (pictured, centre), discussed its work in Wellington, New Zealand, where new infrastructure was developed in the aftermath of an earthquake in 2016 to provide protections against further quakes.<\/p>\n

The Concordia Summit is held in parallel to the UN General Assembly, which also took place in New York this week.<\/p>\n[1] https:\/\/www.mobileworldlive.com\/featured-content\/home-banner\/global-operators-back-gsma-led-climate-initiative\/
