APPROXIMATELY 4.4 BILLION PEOPLE POPULATE THE WORLD ’ S CITIES

By 2050 , this is set to double . An increase in people correlates with an increase in emissions . And , as the global population is steadily growing , so are the harmful gases that catalyse climate change .
With Jason Mann , we explore how SAS is utilising data to enforce better traffic management , which , in turn , will reduce emissions . Having successfully deployed the model in Istanbul , Turkey , SAS is aiming to integrate this model across other countries , in order to improve air quality and mitigate the impact traffic has on global warming .
Likewise , this month ’ s cover celebrates a man who has dedicated much of his life to raising awareness of climaterelated issues : King Charles III . For several decades , the then-Prince used his platform to discuss ways to safeguard the environment before it reached the agendas of today ’ s companies .
