Climate Café: AI for Sustainability

AI is all around us and is rapidly reshaping how we understand and respond to all sorts of challenges, even environmental. AI capabilities grow more powerful and accessible, a key question remains:

**How can AI actively accelerate climate solutions while minimizing its own environmental footprint?**

This Climate Café explores sustainability through the lens of artificial intelligence from a systemic perspective, bringing together insights from a diverse range of professionals.

AI for sustainability doesn't happen only through better algorithms or more data. It also happens through thoughtful deployment decisions, governance frameworks, energy-efficient infrastructure, and everyday applications — from supply chain optimization and waste reduction to biodiversity monitoring and climate adaptation planning. This discussion frames AI as a tool that requires shared responsibility across technology development, implementation, and oversight.

Why attend?

✅ Understand how AI design and deployment decisions influence environmental outcomes
✅ Learn how innovation — algorithmic and infrastructural — can support decarbonization, ecosystem protection, and resilience
✅ Join a critical discussion on the role of AI in building a sustainable future without creating new environmental burdens

What you'll learn:

✨ How AI models, training processes, and infrastructure affect energy use and carbon emissions
✨ The role of AI systems (prediction, optimization, transparency tools) in enabling climate action across sectors
✨ Trade-offs and ethical questions around AI accuracy, energy costs, data access, and equitable climate solutions
✨ Where meaningful AI-driven sustainability change really starts — in model design, corporate strategy, or policy frameworks
