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.
