GeoAI: Innovative applications for climate change mitigation and adaptation | AI FOR GOOD DISCOVERY
0“Taking urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts” is a crucial goal set forward under Goal 13 – Climate Action as part of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Climate action requires global efforts related to climate change mitigation – reducing the flow of heat-trapping greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, or enhancing the “sinks” that accumulate and store these gases alongside climate change adaptation – adjustments in ecological, social, or economic systems in response to actual or expected climatic stimuli and their effects or impacts. \n\nGeospatial data, technologies, and services are essential tools for governments, businesses, and civil society, to better understand and manage our world. Today, these technologies are more critical than ever, as we face global challenges like climate change and truly embrace sustainable practices. This workshop, moderated by the World Geospatial Industry Council (WGIC) demonstrates use cases on integrating artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning with geospatial and Earth observation data, driving insights, to provide meaningful and effective solutions for climate action. \n\nSpeakers \nAndrea Manara, Senior System Analyst, International Telecommunication Union (ITU)\nBarbara Ryan, Executive Director, World Geospatial Industry Council (WGIC)\nAditya Agarwal, Founder, D4DInsights\nGiovanni Marchisio, Vice President of Analytics, Planet\nNick Wise, CEO, Ocean Mind\nAdina Gillespie, Director Of Business Development - Europe, GHGSat\nAnnett Wania, Innovation Project Manager, Planet Labs Germany GmbH\nVipin Kumar, Regents Professor, University of Minnesota\nBarbara Ryan, Executive Director, World Geospatial Industry Council (WGIC)\n\n\nJoin the Neural Network! \nhttps://aiforgood.itu.int/neural-network/\nThe AI for Good networking community platform powered by AI. \nDesigned to help users build connections with innovators and experts, link innovative ideas with social impact opportunities, and bring the community together to advance the SDGs using AI.\n\n Watch the latest #AIforGood videos!\n\n\nExplore more #AIforGood content:\n AI for Good Top Hits\n • Top Hits \n\n AI for Good Webinars\n • AI for Good Webinars \n\n AI for Good Keynotes\n • AI for Good Keynotes \n\n Stay updated and join our weekly AI for Good newsletter:\nhttp://eepurl.com/gI2kJ5\n\n Discover what's next on our programme!\nhttps://aiforgood.itu.int/programme/\n\nCheck out the latest AI for Good news:\nhttps://aiforgood.itu.int/newsroom/\n\nExplore the AI for Good blog:\nhttps://aiforgood.itu.int/ai-for-good-blog/\n\n Connect on our social media:\nWebsite: https://aiforgood.itu.int/\nTwitter: https://twitter.com/ITU_AIForGood\nLinkedIn Page: https://www.linkedin.com/company/26511907 \nLinkedIn Group: https://www.linkedin.com/groups/8567748 \nInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/aiforgood \nFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/AIforGood\n\nWhat is AI for Good?\nThe AI for Good series is the leading action-oriented, global & inclusive United Nations platform on AI. The Summit is organized all year, always online, in Geneva by the ITU with XPRIZE Foundation in partnership with over 35 sister United Nations agencies, Switzerland and ACM. The goal is to identify practical applications of AI and scale those solutions for global impact.\n\nDisclaimer:\nThe views and opinions expressed are those of the panelists and do not reflect the official policy of the ITU.\n\n#AIforGoodDiscovery #GeoAI
