Green IT : A 360-Degree Scan of Current Research , Projects and Initiatives
Boston Consulting Group ( BCG ) 10 , which surveyed private and public sector executives involved in climate and AI issues , 87 % of respondents believe that artificial intelligence can be a helpful tool in the fight against climate change , but only just under 40 % of organizations have a concrete idea of how they can use artificial intelligence to achieve their own climate goals .
Thus , AI can be used for mitigation , adaptation and resilience , and fundamentals such as strengthening climate research and modeling . Concrete use cases are therefore :
• Gather , complete , and process data o E . g . satellite and IoT data o Filling gaps in sparse data
• Strengthen planning and decision making o Policy and climate-risk analytics o Modeling higher-order effects o Bionic management
• Optimize processes o Supply chain o Simulation environments
• Support collaborative ecosystems o Vertical data sharing o Enhanced communication tools
• Encourage climate-positive behaviors o Climate-weighted suggestions
More recommendations on the use of artificial intelligence in the fight against climate change can be found in a paper 11 by members of Climate Change AI .
