AI is already reshaping the way we live and work, but what role can it play in tackling the effects of climate change?
This short, practical course analyses how we can harness the power of AI to drive climate solutions, from planning resilient cities to protecting nature and powering the energy transition. Along the way, you’ll hear from Stanford experts, analyse global case studies and reflect on what this could mean in a public sector context.
But AI isn’t without impact. We’ll also look at the environmental cost of AI systems and identify how governments can help.
Whether you work directly on climate and sustainability or are simply curious about how AI intersects with your role, this course will help you gain new insights, discuss tangible actions and join a global community of peers committed to building a more sustainable, vibrant and resilient future.
By the end of this course, you will be able to:
- Describe why the crossover between AI and climate change is so important.
- Articulate how public servants can help address the concerns about AI’s environmental impact.
- Identify how AI is being used in climate and energy work and the steps governments can take to support this.
