AI is rapidly changing our lives. Climate change is an existential threat to us all. How do we mobilize the extraordinary capabilities of AI to help reduce greenhouse gas emissions and respond to climate change? How do we address the potential threats AI poses to climate action? What are the leading-edge applications of AI to the climate challenge, and where can we push even further?
Join leading experts as they discuss strategies for using AI to promote climate mitigation, adaptation and sustainability across a wide range of disciplines. Panelists representing the cutting edge of practice in industry, energy, academia, climate justice, and policy-making will separate hype from reality, discuss new and unusual constituencies using AI to protect their communities and to adapt, and highlight grand challenges in fighting climate change for which AI holds great promise.
