Artificial Intelligence and Climate Change Mitigation

This chapter explores the intersection of artificial intelligence (AI) and the challenges of climate change and its monitoring and mitigation. It examines how AI technologies can be leveraged to address the complex challenges posed by climate change and accelerate efforts towards sustainable and low-carbon solutions. Climate change is one of the most pressing global challenges, requiring urgent action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, adapt to changing conditions, and transition to a sustainable future. This chapter discusses how AI can play a transformative role in these endeavours. It explores applications of AI in various aspects of climate change mitigation, including energy systems, transportation, agriculture, urban planning, and natural resource management. Furthermore, the chapter explores the role of AI in climate modelling, prediction, and decision-making. It discusses how AI algorithms and machine learning techniques can analyse vast amounts of climate data, enhance weather forecasting, and support informed decision-making in climate change adaptation and mitigation strategies.
