Building Climate-Ready Talent: Data and AI Pathways for Climate Action

​Climate action increasingly depends on data, evidence, and responsible use of AI to drive decision-making and impact. In this interactive session, data.org will share real world examples and practical learning pathways through their global Capacity Accelerator Network (CAN), helping participants understand what data-driven climate work looks like and how to build entry points into it. Attendees will explore curated learning tracks, reflect on their own skill goals, and engage in an open conversation about the resources and capabilities they need to advance in climate-aligned roles.

Who should attend:

• ​Students and recent graduates exploring climate careers

• ​Early-career professionals interested in data, evidence, and AI for climate

• ​Anyone curious about practical pathways into climate work

​Takeaways:

• ​Understand how data + AI enable climate decision-making

• ​Discover structured learning pathways via CAN

• ​Reflect on your next steps toward climate-aligned skills and opportunities

​Format: Interactive session with live exploration and reflection exercises
