4
00:00:12.900 --> 00:00:15.630
mitigation, and adaptation and resilience.

5
00:00:15.630 --> 00:00:18.570
Those two fronts are massively complex.

6
00:00:18.570 --> 00:00:20.610
AI alone will not do the trick.

7
00:00:20.610 --> 00:00:23.460
But it can help accelerate technology solutions,

8
00:00:23.460 --> 00:00:26.250
and support and accelerate decision making

9
00:00:26.250 --> 00:00:27.487
to move to action.

10
00:00:27.487 --> 00:00:30.570
Flood, drought, sea-level rise

11
00:00:30.570 --> 00:00:34.530
are already impacting our day-to-day operation,

12
00:00:34.530 --> 00:00:38.160
our population, our economic activities.

13
00:00:38.160 --> 00:00:40.378
There is a huge cost of inaction.

14
00:00:40.378 --> 00:00:42.961
(upbeat music)

15
00:00:44.430 --> 00:00:46.950
AI can help decision makers

16
00:00:46.950 --> 00:00:49.110
from the public and private sector

17
00:00:49.110 --> 00:00:51.870
to build adaptation and resilience plan,

18
00:00:51.870 --> 00:00:55.290
and decide which levers they need to put in place

19
00:00:55.290 --> 00:00:56.760
in the right location

20
00:00:56.760 --> 00:01:00.753
to prevent the impact of the physical and climate risk.

21
00:01:02.164 --> 00:01:04.350
(upbeat music)

22
00:01:04.350 --> 00:01:06.600
There is an unexpected area

23
00:01:06.600 --> 00:01:09.210
where AI can truly make a difference:

24
00:01:09.210 --> 00:01:12.330
It is changing the behavior of individuals.

25
00:01:12.330 --> 00:01:16.200
AI can help you choose the right itinerary

26
00:01:16.200 --> 00:01:18.150
that will actually reduce your emissions

27
00:01:18.150 --> 00:01:20.430
or your energy consumption.

28
00:01:20.430 --> 00:01:23.100
AI can also help you pick the right product

29
00:01:23.100 --> 00:01:26.163
that will reduce your impact on the environment.

30
00:01:28.110 --> 00:01:31.830
I believe we should invest in two great priorities.

31
00:01:31.830 --> 00:01:36.000
The first one is in research and development in academia

32
00:01:36.000 --> 00:01:40.503
to actually accelerate the development of climate models.

33
00:01:43.110 --> 00:01:46.800
The second is making the solution available

34
00:01:46.800 --> 00:01:50.610
not only in the North, but also in the global South,

35
00:01:50.610 --> 00:01:53.520
because climate is a common problem

36
00:01:53.520 --> 00:01:56.673
and you cannot tackle it only in one part of the world.

37
00:01:59.430 --> 00:02:01.920
What is exciting about AI is

38
00:02:01.920 --> 00:02:04.290
we don't know where it's going to land in the future.

39
00:02:04.290 --> 00:02:07.694
We are still discovering its possibilities.
