Smart Cities and Data Sharing

The video discusses the concept of smart cities, highlighting the potential for seamless transportation, health monitoring, and shopping experiences. It emphasizes the importance of data sharing among companies, individuals, and cities to achieve these goals and combat climate change. The speaker introduces the concept of FOMA (Fear of Missing Advantage) as a barrier to data sharing and suggests that companies are more willing to share data if it serves a common purpose, such as fighting climate change. The video outlines three actions to promote data sharing: finding new data sources, developing sustainability solutions quickly, and acting together for change. It concludes by encouraging individuals to control their data and make climate-friendly decisions.
