11. Sustainable Cities and Communities aims to ensure that cities are inclusive,
safe, resilient, and sustainable. AI helps achieve this by improving traffic flow,
managing waste efficiently, and enhancing disaster response systems. These
technologies contribute to creating urban environments that are better for
people and the planet.
Example: AI-powered streetlights automatically adjust their brightness based
on pedestrian and vehicle activity. This helps cities save energy while ensuring
streets remain safe during the night.
12. Responsible Consumption and Production aims to ensure sustainable
patterns of consumption and production. AI assists by tracking resources
throughout their lifecycle, minimising waste, and improving the efficiency of
supply chain management. These efforts help reduce environmental impact
while promoting responsible production practices and sustainable consumption.
Example: A supermarket notices that fresh produce often goes unsold and is wasted. They
implement an AI system that predicts demand for fruits and vegetables, helping them
stock the right amount and reduce spoilage.
13. Climate Action aims to take immediate action to address climate change. AI
supports this goal by modelling climate patterns, predicting natural disasters,
and optimising efforts to reduce carbon footprints. These technologies help
governments and organisations make informed decisions to mitigate climate
change and build more resilient communities.
Example: A city experiences rising temperatures due to climate change. An AI
system models weather patterns and helps the city plan for cooling solutions,
such as urban green spaces and energy-efficient buildings, to reduce heat stress.
14. Life Below Water aims to conserve and sustainably use oceans, seas, and
marine resources. AI plays a crucial role by monitoring ocean pollution,
combating illegal fishing, and promoting marine biodiversity conservation.
These technologies help track environmental changes, enforce regulations,
and support efforts to protect and restore marine ecosystems.
Example: A group of students works with an AI system that helps clean up plastic from the
ocean. The AI uses cameras to spot where the most plastic waste is floating, and it guides
robots to collect the trash, making the ocean cleaner for marine animals.
15. Life on Land aims to protect, restore, and promote the sustainable use of
terrestrial ecosystems. AI supports this goal by tracking deforestation,
monitoring wildlife populations, and analysing land use patterns. These
technologies help conserve forests, protect endangered species, and ensure
that land resources are managed responsibly for future generations.
Example: Imagine a group of forest rangers using AI to keep an eye on the
trees in their forest. The AI can detect if any part of the forest is at risk of
being destroyed by a fire or disease, so they can act quickly to stop it before
it spreads.
