How urgent is it to take action to address this issue?<\/p>\n<p> <strong>Jackson: <\/strong>There\u2019s a system of systemic levers that are not working in the right direction for many communities, and certainly communities of color. When you think about fossil-fuel generation of power, you think about air pollution. There were <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hsph.harvard.edu\/c-change\/subtopics\/coronavirus-and-pollution\/\" class=\"icon none\">studies<\/a> that showed that if you live in a place where it is more polluted, you are going to be more susceptible to impacts from COVID-19.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Healthcare and the opportunity to access healthcare is a real concern from a COVID-19 perspective. That\u2019s less related to climate change per se and more [related] to inequities in healthcare access.

What role does the tech sector play in ensuring that vulnerable communities in the U.S. and the world aren\u2019t forgotten about as we move toward decarbonization technologies?<\/p>\n<p> <strong>Jackson: <\/strong>The sector in general has a role to play in realizing that technology uses energy \u2014 and if we don\u2019t clean that energy, we are a part of the problem, not the solution. It\u2019s not all part of the tech sector; there are still places where folks aren\u2019t making the problem better.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>For Apple, we\u2019ve realized for well over a decade that we should be investing in clean energy.\u00a0 We had a comprehensive carbon footprint [goal], which we\u2019ve changed over the years to make it more accurate, and we\u2019ve been transparent in reporting on that. It was really big for us to announce last year a 10-year goal to be carbon neutral across all of our suppliers, and for our customers. We put these devices in the world, so we know we have a responsibility to help clean grids around the world. The tech sector has [been] and will continue to be an incredible benefit to people, but there has to be intentionality to ensure that happens.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>MarketWatch: <\/strong>What are some of the economic opportunities that can be unlocked when making renewable energy more accessible?\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>Jackson: <\/strong>First and foremost is jobs. If we\u2019re going to build an economy around clean energy and energy efficiency, those are all jobs that we would like to see be available to communities that need them. We don\u2019t want to see clean energy just for big businesses; we want it to be for communities as well. Another thing to remember is that as more deployment happens, renewables are cheaper than conventional sources of power.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s really just getting these technologies deployed in communities and giving them a little bit of help with initial investment.
