Earth Observation (EO) technologies, including advanced satellite sensors, algorithms, and AI tools, are helping to improve our understanding of the changing environment. In a white paper prepared in cooperation with the World Economic Forum, Media Lab Director Dava Newman and Research Engineer Minoo Rathnasabapathy examine key EO technology trends that are unlocking actionable climate insights—a vital need as climate-related disasters become more frequent. https://lnkd.in/gtSQjuhH

This Earth Day, APL reaffirms our commitment to the planet. ???? Johns Hopkins APL and its partners are pushing the boundaries of Artificial Intelligence, satellite imaging, and systems modeling technology to track and fight threats to climate security. Through a newly built computer pipeline, APL can produce more localized and actionable data than ever before, and track greenhouse gas emissions with unprecedented detail and speed. We're also creating higher resolution and more accurate predictions of the movement of air pollution from forest fires, as well as predicting water availability, modeling potentially catastrophic changes to earth systems, and demonstrating how engineering with nature can reinforce coastlines.

Ever wondered how Artificial Intelligence can support bolder #climateaction? ?? ?? Some examples: AI could optimize the integration of renewable energy into national power grids. Or it could help provide targeted real-time information to vulnerable communities to both avert and prepare for climate change impacts. If you are working on AI solutions for climate action, our new AI Innovation Grand Challenge might be for you. It aims to: ?? Identify AI solutions that can accelerate climate action in developing countries, in particular in Least Developed Countries or Small Island Developing States. ?? Support the development and scaling-up of identified solutions. ?? Enhance access to AI-powered climate solutions through an open online repository Learn more and submit your proposal: https://bit.ly/3VYBHFW

Are you passionate about sustainability and the environment? Do you believe in the power of technology to drive positive change? If so, I have some exciting news to share. As a beekeeper and researcher, I've seen firsthand the critical role bees play in our ecosystem. They're not just honey producers but essential pollinators supporting biodiversity and our global food system. That's why I'm thrilled to announce my latest collaboration with Enterprise Neurosystem, a nonprofit at the forefront of using AI to positively impact bee health and climate change. We're using cutting-edge sensors inside beehives to monitor and analyze bee activity, health, and environmental factors. These data are invaluable in our mission to protect and enhance pollinator populations. And the best part? Enterprise Neurosystem is a proud supporter of the UN Climate Change Technology Executive Committee, which means they're committed to supporting initiatives with resources that make a real difference. If you're working on a project that aligns with our sustainability goals and improves bee health, I encourage you to apply for mentorship, cloud computing credits, travel to the United Nations COP29 conference, and more by the August 14, 2024 deadline. This is your chance to be part of a global movement to leverage the power of AI to solve the grand challenges of our modern world. Let's work together to create a more sustainable future for our planet. Apply now and join us in our mission to support nature and biodiversity and, ultimately, ourselves.

There's been a fair amount of media coverage of late related to how power-hungry AI models are, and relatedly the climate impact of building huge datacenters full of GPUs to power them. But - first off, not all AI models are alike re. power needs (e.g. predictive vs generative AI) and secondly, IT infrastructure designs such as Edge AI (and DePIN), can do much to address the "power needs" narrative. More on that from me to come. Also, there is no doubt that AI has a very useful role to play in the world of #ClimateTech and it's already is real life use for many projects. The Grand Challenge is designed to pull in further ideas for its use, especially for developing countries. It's hosted by a non-profit called the Enterprise Neurosystem (where I am a volunteer evangelist and advisor) and UN Climate Change. First prize includes a trip to Baku to present at COP29.

The UN Climate Change plays a crucial role in global environmental stewardship, setting the stage for sustainable development and climate action worldwide. Their dedication to fostering international cooperation and innovative solutions mirrors our own commitment at SERVE Council through initiatives like SERVE TREES. At SERVE Council, inspired by UN Climate Change's leadership, we launched SERVE TREES to empower individuals to contribute directly to reforestation efforts. By leveraging blockchain technology for transparency and aiming to plant 100,000 trees by 2026, we align with UN Climate Change's vision of a greener, more sustainable planet. Together with UN Climate Change and initiatives like SERVE TREES, we can make a profound impact on global environmental challenges, ensuring a brighter future for generations to come. servecouncil.in We believe in #betterplanettogether #UNEP #Sustainability #SERVETREES #ClimateAction #SERVECouncil #saveearth #savetheplanet #GreenElections #green #PlantATree #PeoplesClimate #environment #tree
