Help us shape the future of AI innovation and climate action

Climate change is one of the most pressing issues of our time, and artificial intelligence holds immense potential to drive positive change.

The AI for Climate Symposium – Innovating for a sustainable and thriving future in a changing climate aims to bring together industry, government and researchers to explore how AI can help us responsibly adapt to and mitigate climate change

This 2-day Symposium will be held on 16-17 October at the iconic State Library Victoria in the heart of Melbourne, Australia.

The symposium will unpack the potential for climate-related AI use case studies across agriculture, infrastructure, emergency management and many more.

Be a part of the solution for developing an R&D focussed Roadmap for Climate Action to outline steps and strategies for leveraging AI for Climate change challenges.

Climate solutions design sprint

Participate in a design sprint focused on exploring opportunities to use AI to solve our greatest climate challenges.

You will have the chance to work in teams that span government, industry and academia to develop and pitch a solution to these use cases.

  • Innovating on energy efficiency: Solutions for at-home and on the road: This use case considers contexts like electric vehicle use and household carbon footprints, contexts where individual consumers are looking for proactive ways to respond to the changing climate.
  • Solving for emission reductions across (healthcare) supply chains: Not just a challenge for healthcare, this is an opportunity to explore how Scope 3 within the Health sector can be defined, assessed and responded to in novel, innovative ways.
  • Getting granular about one of our biggest sources of emissions: Methane: This cross-domain use case asks how we might achieve greater spatial and temporal resolution with available data science capabilities. It uses ‘methane reduction as a climate mitigation strategy’ as an example application.
  • Shining a light on sources of human bias with AI for climate: This cross-domain use case invites you to consider innovative ways of applying AI to contexts of climate mitigation and adaptation where people may be prone to cognitive biases and shortcuts that prevent optimal decisions.
