On June 23, 2025, the University of Surrey hosted a seminar titled “Green AI: Can Emerging Technologies Save the Planet?” This event brought together experts and innovators to discuss how technology can promote sustainability.
The keynote speaker, Satya S. Tripathi, a former UN Assistant Secretary-General and now with the Global Alliance for a Sustainable Planet (GASP), opened the discussion. He emphasized the potential of new technologies to drive climate action forward, sparking energetic debates about their role.
Professor Yu Xiong, co-founder of Endless Protocol and a leader at the University of Surrey, chaired the event. The panel included Jay Shen, founder of Transreport, which improves transport accessibility. They tackled various topics, such as:
- The Dual Nature of Technology: While AI and other technologies can help in sustainability, they also risk increasing emissions and creating new inequalities.
- Digital Climate Finance: The use of decentralized finance (DeFi) and tokenized carbon credits could enhance climate resilience in underinvested regions.
- Global Governance and Ethical Leadership: The panel stressed the need for systemic change and global cooperation to guide technologies toward common environmental goals.
Luffa, the decentralized social platform hosting the event, aims to connect users to meaningful purposes. Oliver Venables, Product Director at Luffa, mentioned, “This dialogue showed the power of decentralized systems in advancing climate action and equity.”
Endless Protocol has a strong commitment to sustainability. At the COP 29 conference in Baku, Azerbaijan in November 2024, Professor Xiong highlighted how Endless uses blockchain and AI to support net-zero goals. They tokenize carbon credits and track emissions transparently, improving the efficiency of carbon markets. Their AI tools help manage energy use and minimize waste, significantly lowering their carbon footprint.
“Endless isn’t just a tech company—it’s a promise for a greener future,” Xiong stated. He further expressed pride in collaborating with leaders like Tripathi and institutions like the University of Surrey. He believes in creating a decentralized infrastructure that supports a sustainable economy.
The event marks an important step in developing a co-creation economy, where individuals and communities can collaborate and prosper together.
