Topics

The National Academies is organizing a workshop to explore innovative ways AI can enhance climate science and support decision-making for resilience and mitigation. The workshop will identify critical applications where AI can inform climate action at speed and scale, consider how AI’s broader societal impacts affect approaches for addressing climate change, and provide a forum for cross-sectoral dialogue.

Possible topics of discussion may include: emerging AI tools to advance climate modeling and resilience efforts, key needs for climate information at local and national levels, and ways AI can transform climate science into actionable information for decision-makers.
