SDG 11 aims to provide safe and affordable housing
11 facilities to all. It also advocates green and culturally
inspiring conditions for all. Technologies like AI in
smart cities help the cities to utilise current assets
more effectively, allot resources more efficiently and
understand how data can be shared and managed
across the whole system.
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.
