You might be surprised to learn that AI is already proving to be a powerful weapon in the fight against climate change. The UN, for example, has incorporated AI into its UNOSAT satellite imagery center – using algorithms to analyze images of flooded areas and assess where disaster response teams are needed.
AI can also help to preempt future disasters and help vulnerable communities anticipate what may be coming their way. Indeed, the UN works with vulnerable communities in Burundi, Chad, and Sudan – using AI to analyze past environmental change in displacement hotspots and build future projections.
