This aims to use products and services in a manner
12 that is socially beneficial, economically feasible and
environment friendly during their whole life cycle.
AI can help in eliminating waste, improving farming
techniques and using resources efficiently which in
turn will improve the responsible consumption and
production.
The goal is to reduce global warming, address climate related hazards in
13 all countries, take up policies nationally and build
knowledge and capacities to meet climate change. AI
for climate action has the potential to reduce global
greenhouse gas emissions by up to 4 percent. Using AI and data from
NASA, researchers are able to identify patterns and monitor changes
of land surfaces such as decreasing sea area, ice cap surfaces, etc.
This would help in determining future risks. AI can also be used to
monitor pollution.
We all know that healthy oceans support climate
14 change mitigation and adaptation efforts. SDG targets
to prevent and reduce marine pollution, protect marine
and coastal ecosystems, regulate harvesting and end
destructive fishing practices, etc.
Our oceans are vast and cover more than 70% of the earth’s surface.
This makes tracking and measuring life under water a massive task.
Satellite imagery and analysis of boat’s movements with a specially designed form of machine
learning makes it possible to determine the area of illegal fishing or seafaring vessels.
This SDG aims at protecting, restoring and promoting
15 the sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems, managing
forests,
fighting
land
reversing
deforestation,
degradation and stopping biodiversity loss.
In future, AI methods may be used to create a digital dashboard for the
planet, to help us monitor, model, foresee and manage environmental
systems at a global scale.
