From climate transparency to climate action – possibilities of AI?

​From climate transparency to climate action – possibilities of AI?

​The backbone of the Paris Agreement is a transparency framework that requires of countries to report information on their emissions, commitments and implementation. This generates an excessive amount of information and the challenge is to make the information meaningful and actionable to various stakeholders.

​How can AI leverage climate governance data to drive climate action among governments, businesses, investors, and civil society?
What is required for AI to be trustworthy in this context?
