The information note:
- Explores the role of AI in addressing climate challenges in developing countries, particularly in the LDCs and SIDS. It emphasizes the potential of AI to enhance adaptation efforts through AI application, including climate modelling and planning, early warning systems, optimizing agri-food systems, and mitigation efforts through AI applications such as greenhouse gas (GHG) monitoring, energy and transport management.
- Introduces the challenges and risks associated with the usage of AI including the digital divide, data availability and access, data security, gender bias and social inequities, energy and water consumption, and AI applications that increase risks from climate change.
