How can AI Save CO₂ Emissions in the Climate Transition?

These tools support shifts in consumption behaviour, crucial for long-term climate goals.

Enhancing climate modelling and adaptation

Accurate climate modelling is essential for informed policy. 

AI-enhanced tools like IceNet outperform traditional forecasting systems in predicting Arctic sea ice, while Climate Policy Radar uses AI to help governments design better climate policies based on thousands of case studies.

On the resilience front, AI strengthens early warning systems. 

Google’s FloodHub, for example, forecasts floods five days in advance in 80 countries, helping to prevent billions in economic damages annually. 

AI-powered digital twins, such as NVIDIA’s Earth-2, are also redefining how we model extreme events and long-term ecological change.

Public leadership and governance

Despite AI’s promise, letting the market govern its development alone risks exacerbating global inequalities and energy use.
