SDG 12: Responsible Consumption and Production
This aims to use products and services in a manner 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 responsible consumption
and production.
SDG 13: Climate Action
This goal aims to reduce global warming, address climate related hazards
in all countries implement national policies 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. By using AI
and data from NASA, researchers are able to identify patterns and monitor
changes in land surfaces such as decreasing sea areas, ice cap surfaces, etc. This would help in
determining future risks. AI can also be used to monitor pollution.

More than 4 billion people still do not have access to the Internet, and 90 percent
are from the developing part of the world. FACT
SDG 14: Life Below Water
We all know that healthy oceans support climate 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 a boat’s movements with a specially designed form of machine learning makes it possible to
determine the area of illegal fishing or seafaring vessels.

SDG 15: Life on Land
This aims at protecting, restoring and promoting the sustainable use of
terrestrial ecosystems, managing forests, fighting deforestation, reversing
land 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 on a global scale.
