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.
