-: Fighting climate change means tackling two fronts:

mitigation, and adaptation and resilience.
Those two fronts are massively complex.
AI alone will not do the trick.
But it can help accelerate technology solutions,
and support and accelerate decision making
to move to action.
Flood, drought, sea-level rise
are already impacting our day-to-day operation,
our population, our economic activities.
There is a huge cost of inaction.

AI can help decision makers
from the public and private sector
to build adaptation and resilience plan,
and decide which levers they need to put in place
in the right location
to prevent the impact of the physical and climate risk.

There is an unexpected area
where AI can truly make a difference:
It is changing the behavior of individuals.
AI can help you choose the right itinerary
that will actually reduce your emissions
or your energy consumption.
AI can also help you pick the right product
that will reduce your impact on the environment.
I believe we should invest in two great priorities.
The first one is in research and development in academia
to actually accelerate the development of climate models.
The second is making the solution available
not only in the North, but also in the global South,
because climate is a common problem
and you cannot tackle it only in one part of the world.
What is exciting about AI is
we don't know where it's going to land in the future.
We are still discovering its possibilities.
