How Technology Can Bridge the Gap Between COP29 Ambitions and Real-World Outcomes
The 29th UN Climate Conference (COP29) in Baku, Azerbaijan, aimed to advance a new climate finance goal and inspire stronger national climate commitments. While progress was made, the private sector must now play a pivotal role in turning these ambitions into actionable outcomes. Central to this effort is the energy transition, one of the key economic growth drivers of our time.
The energy transition is creating a profound shift across industries and global economies. Amplified by technological innovation and intense competition, it is reshaping sectors and shifting economies toward renewable energy. This change is not only an environmental necessity but also a catalyst for economic growth, challenging the traditional dominance of fossil fuels. With capital investments increasingly directed toward renewable energy infrastructure, investors are aligning their priorities with sustainability, signaling that profitability and environmental stewardship can coexist. Yet, the ongoing prominence of oil and gas underlines the complexity and scale of this transition.
In parallel, the circular economy is gaining momentum as businesses address the dual challenges of material scarcity and carbon reduction. At COP29, there was significant discussion about how a circular approach focused on rethinking supply chains, redesigning products, and optimizing resources could reduce dependency on finite materials while driving sustainable economic growth. By adopting circular economy principles, businesses can minimize waste and keep valuable materials in circulation, contributing to a more resilient and sustainable future.
The Role of Business in Transforming Climate Commitments into Tangible Outcomes
One of the central discussions at COP29 was the need for harmonizing global standards for carbon reduction and accounting. Foreign policy players, along with the private sector, stressed the importance of mobilizing finance for sustainable capitalism. In particular, there was a call for clearer and standardized reporting frameworks to simplify the process and ensure transparency. One critical area was the importance of accurate data collection for carbon markets and product-level carbon accounting, which can help businesses engage consumers and reduce emissions.
There are three ways technology plays a pivotal role in addressing some of these challenges:
- Sustainability data is available in every organization’s ERP system, so it’s time to start automating data collection and reporting processes to ease some of the regulatory burden.
- Companies should leverage IT spending to support sustainability initiatives, specifically by applying generative AI to optimize climate solutions and create circular products.
- Companies must shift focus on the carbon footprint of specific products to pinpoint areas with the most significant impact.
From Policy to Practice: How Technology and Global Standards Can Accelerate Climate Action
Empowered by technology and guided by clear policies, businesses have a unique opportunity to bridge the gap between high-level climate commitments and actionable, on-the-ground strategies.
Central to this is aligning sustainability and financial priorities. Effective climate action demands collaboration between chief sustainability officers and chief financial officers, as climate change has evolved from an ethical and environmental issue to a pressing financial imperative.
To accelerate progress, we need globally harmonized policies, rigorous carbon accounting frameworks, and advanced technology solutions. By embedding AI-driven innovation, robust reporting standards, and actionable insights into business operations, we can ensure that COP events, such as COP29 in Baku, are remembered as turning points – not just discussions. While the challenges ahead are formidable, the opportunities for transformative action are even greater – and SAP is here to lead the way on a low-carbon, circular future.

Unlocking New Possibilities with Amazon Nova Models on SAP’s Generative AI Hub
At SAP, we are committed to delivering transformative AI technologies that drive meaningful business impact. Today, at AWS re:Invent 2024, we’re thrilled to unveil the immediate availability of Amazon’s new foundation models (FMs) — Amazon Nova Micro, Amazon Nova Lite, and Amazon Nova Pro — through SAP’s generative AI hub, a capability of SAP AI Core, adding to existing access to Anthropic Claude and Amazon Titan models from Amazon Bedrock.
The generative AI hub enables enterprise customers to easily access a broad range of commercial and open-source large language models (LLMs) in a safe and secure environment. This milestone marks a new chapter in our long-standing partnership with AWS, combining SAP’s AI innovations and enterprise expertise with Amazon’s latest and most advanced AI capabilities and technology solutions to unlock powerful opportunities for businesses.
Amazon Nova joins a growing portfolio of top-tier commercial and open-source models available through the generative AI hub. By making the new Amazon Nova models publicly available simultaneously with their release on AWS, SAP helps ensure that customers can immediately leverage the latest innovations to build AI-driven solutions that harness the full business context in SAP data.
Tailored AI Solutions for Every Need
The Amazon Nova release includes three state-of-the-art understanding models that are available today, enabling businesses to choose the right model for their unique needs:
- Amazon Nova Micro: Text-only model that delivers the lowest latency responses at very low cost
- Amazon Nova Lite: Very low-cost multimodal model that is lightning fast for processing image, video, and text inputs
- Amazon Nova Pro: Highly capable multimodal model with the best combination of accuracy, speed, and cost for a wide range of tasks
With these models now accessible through the generative AI hub, developers can efficiently leverage them alongside the extensive capabilities of SAP Business Technology Platform (SAP BTP) to build and scale AI-powered solutions that seamlessly work with SAP applications.
Streamlined Access and Integration
SAP’s generative AI hub helps simplify how businesses access and deploy advanced AI models. The Amazon Nova models, alongside other leading offerings, are available through a unified interface deeply integrated with SAP BTP. This helps ensure customers can automate workflows with precision, build multimodal AI solutions tailored to specific challenges, and fully utilize the business context embedded in SAP data.
By combining Amazon Nova models with SAP BTP services like workflow automation and vector databases, businesses can develop customized AI solutions that can scale effortlessly. For example, developers can create new skills for Joule, SAP’s AI copilot, leveraging Amazon Nova models and SAP HANA’s vector capabilities to process enterprise-specific data. This helps ensure AI outputs are not only accurate and relevant but also actionable, driving measurable results across operations.
SAP and AWS: Unlocking the Future of Business AI
The availability of Amazon Nova models on the generative AI hub marks a significant milestone in SAP’s long-standing collaboration with AWS. Together, we continue to address critical enterprise challenges such as data security, regulatory compliance, and scalability, ensuring businesses can confidently adopt AI solutions that deliver tangible value. This partnership underscores our shared vision of making advanced AI accessible and impactful for businesses worldwide, unlocking new levels of efficiency and innovation.
