You will get to work with leading AWS technical experts to build and scale your cloud platform.
Programme Overview
Cities occupy just 3% percent of the Earth’s land but account for 75% of carbon emissions. With the urban population expected to grow 1.5X to 6 billion people by 2045, developing sustainable cities is a crucial component of the fight against climate change — UN Sustainable Development Goals #11
