The goal is to reduce global warming, address climate

                                 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.

                                 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

                   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.
