Artificial Intelligence in Climate Change Mitigation and Adaptation
Abstract
Addressing the pressing global issue of climate change demands rapid and creative approaches. Artificial Intelligence (AI) has surfaced as a potent instrument for addressing the complex issues linked to climate change. It provides inventive answers for diminishing greenhouse gas emissions and getting ready for the impacts of a shifting climate. This article conducts a comprehensive examination of AI's pivotal role in addressing climate change. It explores various aspects, including AI-driven climate modeling, the optimization of renewable energy sources, strategies for capturing and securely storing carbon emissions, initiatives aimed at enhancing climate resilience, and the analysis of environmental data. Furthermore, it delves into ethical considerations, hurdles, and the wide-ranging potential applications of AI in the ongoing battle against climate change. Notable areas of focus encompass greenhouse gas sequestration, adaptation to climate variations, and strategies for promoting climate resilience.
