A Majority of Businesses Intrigued by the Potential of AI in Achieving Sustainability Goals Whilst Energy Consumption Concerns Persist

More than one in two organizations acknowledge gap in understanding how digital technology can facilitate achieving sustainability goals


HANGZHOU, CHINA – Media OutReach Newswire – 10 March 2025 – Over three quarters of businesses (76%) across Asia, Europe and the Middle East are intrigued by the potential of digital technologies, including AI and cloud computing in driving sustainable development, according to the latest survey report titled “Tech-Driven Sustainability Trends and Index 2024”, commissioned by Alibaba Cloud, the digital technology and intelligence backbone of Alibaba Group. However, the substantial energy consumption associated with these technologies is still reflecting a key barrier to broader adoption, as 61% of respondents still express concerns over the matter.

This interest in the potential of AI, cloud computing and other advanced digital technologies to support sustainable development varies across regions, with emerging Asian markets leading the way (83%), followed closely by the Middle East (78%), Europe (74%), and developed Asian markets (72%). Notably, the Philippines (91%), Singapore (84%), Indonesia (81%), and Thailand (81%), demonstrate particularly high interest.

Regional Variations in AI Adoption and Sustainability Efforts

Despite this optimism, 59% businesses acknowledge gap in understanding how digital technology can assist in achieving sustainability goals with Asia leading at 63%, followed by Europe at 61% and the Middle East at 45%. Around two thirds (62%) of executives believe their organizations are lagging in adopting cloud computing and AI to accelerate progress towards sustainability goals. This concern is particularly noted in Singapore (80%), the Philippines (77%), and Japan (75%) and Hong Kong SAR (75%), indicating a pressing need for organizations to accelerate their technological adoption to advance sustainability.

Overall, 82% of businesses agree that sustainable development in technology is paramount for their companies, with markets like Singapore (93%), the Philippines (91%), and Indonesia (89%) leading the charge. Companies increasingly recognize the multifaceted benefits of adopting digital technologies for sustainability including cost savings, improved operational efficiencies, and enhanced compliance with Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) regulations.

AI and machine learning are viewed as the most crucial digital technologies for advancing corporate sustainability, with businesses in the Middle East (52%) placing greater emphasis on their importance compared to Europe (41%), emerging Asian markets (40%) and developed Asian markets (36%). Meanwhile, 81% of businesses feel human oversight is needed in guiding the development of digital technologies, including AI tools with the Middle East feel the strongest at 91%, followed by emerging Asian markets at 83%, Europe at 82% and developed Asian markets at 74%.

However, the survey reveals a notable concern: 61% of respondents fear that the high energy consumption associated with digital technologies may hinder widespread AI adoption. This concern is even higher in Singapore (85%), the Philippines (77%) and Hong Kong SAR (75%). Furthermore, 71% of businesses believe that the substantial energy consumption of digital technologies such as powering AI may outweigh its benefits with the highest concerns from Singapore (86%), the Philippines (84%) and Malaysia (81%).

The report also highlights the importance of selecting technology providers that prioritize sustainability. When selecting a “green” cloud provider, approximately half of businesses prioritize those that use renewable energy (51%), maintain energy-efficient data centers (46%), and implement carbon footprint reduction initiatives (42%).

Commitment to Green AI and Open-source Innovation

“With feedback from decision-makers across 13 markets, the survey report sheds light on the current attitudes and challenges businesses face in adopting AI and cloud computing for sustainability,” said Selina Yuan, President of International Business, Alibaba Cloud Intelligence. “At Alibaba Cloud, we are committed to supporting businesses on their sustainability journeys with scalable and sustainable solutions. By pledging to use 100% clean energy by 2030 and improving the energy efficiency at our global data centers, as well as optimizing Generative AI capabilities such as large language models (LLMs) performance, AI can be a powerful tool to improve efficiency and optimize energy consumption.”

Alibaba Cloud has made notable progress in its green cloud initiatives. In the fiscal year ending March 31, 2024, the average power usage effectiveness (PUE) of the company’s self-built data centers improved to 1.200 from 1.215 the year before, with 56% of the electricity consumed coming from clean sources. Additionally, Alibaba’s green computing infrastructure has enabled clients to reduce their emissions by 9.884 million tons, a remarkable increase of 44% year-on-year.

In addition, Alibaba Cloud is at the forefront of democratizing AI through its open-source initiatives, making advanced AI technologies accessible and affordable for businesses of all sizes. By releasing cutting-edge open-source models from its proprietary large language model Qwen family, including Qwen2.5-VL and Qwen2.5-1M and its video foundation model Tongyi Wanxiang (Wan), Alibaba Cloud empowers developers to create task-specific AI applications that are both efficient and cost-effective. These open-source models have already inspired over 100,000 derivative models on Hugging Face, showcasing their global adoption and versatility. By promoting smaller parameter models, Alibaba Cloud reduces the cost and energy consumption of AI training and deployment, fostering a collaborative ecosystem that drives energy-efficient innovation.

Surveying 1,300 decision-makers across 13 markets, “Tech-Driven Sustainability Trends and Index 2024” aims to provide valuable insights into the evolving landscape of corporate sustainability. The survey report underscores the essential role of technology in driving impactful change, while highlighting the need for businesses to adopt AI and cloud computing responsibly to address energy consumption concerns and bridge the gap in sustainability efforts.

About the Survey

Alibaba Cloud’s “Tech-Driven Sustainability Trends and Index 2024” was independently conducted by Yonder Consulting, a business consulting firm, with advisory, design and analytical support from The Purpose Business, a sustainability consultancy. The survey collected feedback from May 10 to June 19, 2024, involving 1,300 business leaders and senior management from various industries, including technology and communications, finance, infrastructure, renewable resources, healthcare, transportation, retail, and manufacturing.

Respondents were located across 13 markets in Asia (Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand, Hong Kong SAR, Japan, Singapore and South Korea), Europe (France, Germany, and United Kingdom), and the Middle East (Saudi Arabia and the UAE). In this survey, developed Asian markets refer to Hong Kong SAR, Japan, Singapore, and South Korea, while emerging Asian markets include Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, and Thailand.

Thai Scientists from Chula to Investigate Global Warming in Antarctica

BANGKOK, March 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Prof. Dr. Suchana Chavanich from the Department of Marine Science, Faculty of Science, and Deputy Director of the Aquatic Resources Research Institute, Chulalongkorn University recently embarked on a 28-day expedition to Antarctica to study the impacts of global warming and microplastic waste.

Thai Scientists from Chula to Investigate Global Warming in Antarctica

Prof. Dr. Suchana warns that climate change is accelerating beyond predictions.  Despite Thailand being located over 11,000 kilometers away, the country is not immune to these environmental changes.

The Polar Research Project, initiated by HRH Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn, highlights Thailand’s commitment to climate change research. This initiative allows Thai scientists to collaborate with global researchers, enhancing the country’s expertise in polar science. Internationally, the project partners with China’s Arctic and Antarctic Administration (CAA), while domestically, it works with several Thai institutions. Over the past decade, Thai researchers have contributed to studies on oceanography, geology, astronomy, and environmental science in the polar regions.

For the 2025 expedition, Prof. Dr. Suchana joined the Chinese Antarctic Research Team along with Thai researchers Dr. Sujaree Burikul and Mr. Nipat Pinpradet. Departing from Bangkok, the team traveled to Punta Arenas, Chile, before continuing to Antarctica, where they stayed at Great Wall Station. Working in temperatures as low as -93°C, they will conduct extensive fieldwork, collecting images, videos, and biological samples to study marine ecosystems and microplastic contamination.

A key concern is the link between global warming and emerging infectious diseases (EIDs). Rising ocean temperatures alter fish behavior, increasing their food intake and parasite infections, which could lead to disease outbreaks and higher death rates in penguin and seal populations. Additionally, microplastic waste in the polar regions, which remains a significant challenge, with only a 10% chance of proper removal, can also pose severe health risks.

Prof. Dr. Suchana underscores the alarming rate of polar ice melt, which could drastically raise sea levels—up to 50 meters if the South Pole’s ice caps completely disappear. Such a scenario would be catastrophic, making global warming an urgent crisis.

Raising awareness is crucial. Prof. Dr. Suchana hopes to share real-time footage from Antarctica to educate Thai people on the environmental crisis. She urges everyone to take action, emphasizing that climate change is driven by human activity—greenhouse gas emissions, overfishing, and pollution. To mitigate further damage, individuals must recognize their role in preserving nature before irreversible consequences unfold.

RiboX Therapeutics Announces First Patient Dosed in Phase I/IIa Clinical Trial of RXRG001, the First Circular RNA Therapy for the Treatment of Radiation-Induced Xerostomia and Hyposalivation

PRINCETON, N.J., March 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — RiboX Therapeutics Ltd. (RiboX), a pioneering biopharmaceutical company, focused on discovering and developing fully engineered circular RNA therapeutics, today announced that the first patient was dosed last week in its first-in-human (FIH) Phase I/IIa clinical trial (SPRINX-1) evaluating the safety and efficacy of RXRG001 in patients with radiation-induced-xerostomia (RIX) and hyposalivation.

Xerostomia and hyposalivation are common side effects of radiation therapy in head and neck cancer (HNC) patients. Radiation therapy often results in damage to salivary glands and a significant decrease in saliva secretion, frequently leading to dry mouth, difficulties in chewing and swallowing, impaired oral health, and diminished quality of life. There is a significant unmet medical need to develop a new treatment for xerostomia and hyposalivation.

“Patients suffering radiation-induced xerostomia face a need for new therapeutic options. RXRG001 introduces an innovative approach offering hope for my patients. We are proud to be the first site to treat a patient with RXRG001 and look forward to continuing to collaborate with RiboX and other investigative centers to rapidly enroll patients in this FIH trial. I am glad that our first patient is tolerating the investigational product well.”, commented Principal Investigator, Henry T. Hoffman, MD, MS, FACS, Professor, Otolaryngology and Editor, Iowa Head and Neck Protocols of University of Iowa.

“We are privileged to work with Dr. Hoffman at University of Iowa and our other esteemed Principal Investigators whose patients battle for their quality of life under the profound impact of radiation-induced xerostomia, in aftermath of their cancer treatment and survivorship,” shared Haifa Tyler, Head of Clinical Operations of RiboX, “It is an honor to initiate the first-ever circular RNA therapy clinical trial and now a pivotal moment in the dosing of our first patient.”

“Today’s accomplishment marks an important milestone for both RiboX and most notably for xerostomia patients. We are grateful to our patients and investigators for their contribution to our clinical trials. RiboX is committed to introducing more novel treatments to patients around the world by leveraging our innovative circular RNA technology.” Yizhen Xu, MD, PhD, Chief Medical Officer of RiboX stated.

About RXRG001

RXRG001 is a proprietary product developed using innovative circular RNA technology. In recent years, circular RNA has emerged as the next generation RNA therapy due to its high protein expression efficiency, low immunogenicity, and manufacture stability. RXRG001 consists of the circular RNA coding human aquaporin 1 (hAQP1, a water channel protein of cell membranes), encapsulated in lipid nanoparticles (LNPs). RXRG001 is anticipated to increase saliva production by restoring water permeability via overexpression of hAQP1, therefore it alleviates dry mouth symptoms.  Non-clinical studies have demonstrated a favorable risk and benefit profile of RXRG001 in animal models. For instance, a single administration of RXRG001 led to a significant increased salivary flow which was sustained for about four weeks.

RXRG001 is the first-ever circular RNA therapy to receive FDA IND clearance back on October 25th, 2024.

About RiboX Therapeutics

RiboX is a globally operated biotech, dedicated to discovering and developing fully engineered circular RNA therapeutics, cofounded by Drs. Ling-Ling Chen, Dan Peer and Weiyi Zhang in 2021.  The company has operations in Princeton, NJ, USA, Rehovot, Israel and Shanghai, China. Circular RNA therapy is a novel modality, which is considered as the next generation RNA therapy. Compared to mRNA, circular RNA has a covalently closed single-stranded RNA structure that confers superior stability, lowers immunogenicity, and tunable protein expression, subsequently overcoming the current limitations of mRNA therapeutics and realizing the full potential of RNA medicines. 

RiboX’s pipeline spans various therapeutic areas, including radiation-induced xerostomia, monogenic rare diseases, autoimmune diseases, and metabolic diseases. RiboX is committed to pioneering innovative research in next-generation RNA therapies, with a vision to improve the quality of life for patients worldwide.

Creative Schools Continuum Launches Anniversary Celebrations with Charity Walk

The day began early with student-led game booths and photo opportunities, creating a fun and exciting atmosphere on campus. Young leaders from the three schools welcomed guests and families, setting a lively mood before the opening ceremony and charity walks.

Two scenic walk routes were available: a shorter 2.5-kilometer path for families with younger children and a more challenging 5-kilometer route for those looking for a serious workout. Both routes took walkers through the beautiful sights of Tseung Kwan O, including the pedestrian paths from the school campus to the Tseung Kwan O waterfront park and the Cross Bay Bridge, offering stunning views along the way.

In his opening speech, the chairman of the celebration committee Mr. Victor Fong said, “Since Creative Primary School and Creative Primary School’s Kindergarten were founded in 1985, and Creative Secondary School in 2006, we have created high-quality, coherent educational pathways for students from kindergarten to secondary school.”

“The Creative Schools Continuum is fully committed to providing an exceptionally caring and positive learning environment for students, focusing on both academic success and positive character development.”

The idea of combining celebrations with a charity event comes from the core values of the three member schools. They focus not only on fostering students’ academic achievements and lifelong passion for learning but also enhancing their confidence, resilience, strengths of character and personal qualities. This prepares students to take on new opportunities and contribute to a fast-changing and increasingly challenging world.

Factual Highlights of the Creative Schools Continuum
Three Schools * One Philosophy * One Continuum

  • The motto of Creative Schools Continuum is “Nurture Future Minds * Build Boundless Capacity”, highlighting the continuum’s foresights and insights of quality education and our commitments to our students and parents.
  • Creative Primary School and Creative Secondary School are award-winning “Inviting Schools”. The award recognizes the schools’ commitments to providing an exceptionally caring, trusting, respectful and positive learning environments for its students and staff.
