2. Artificial Intelligence and the Climate Crisis: How Can AI Change the Game?

12/1/2023

The fight against climate change crucially depends on the ability to precisely measure its social, economic and environmental impacts, as well as to evaluate the effectiveness of the climate actions taken by businesses, governments and individuals. Artificial Intelligence can dramatically improve accuracy and provide everyone, from governments to the private sector and civil society, with access to a large set of reliable data and information. This episode explores the potential of AI to be a game changer in our collective fight against the climate emergency. Can the adoption of AI result in improved decision-making, enhanced monitoring, increased accountability, and a more equitable playing field? Guests: Dr Michal Nachmany, Founder & CEO of Climate Policy Radar Dr Natalia Efremova, Lecturer at Queen Mary University, Senior Research Fellow in Machine Learning for agriculture in the Alan Turing Institute and co-founder of Deep Planet.

1. Climate Litigation: A Distraction or a Solution to the Climate Crisis?

11/28/2023

In a world grappling with the urgent reality of the climate crisis, the role of climate litigation, both domestic and international, has become a topic of intense debate. In recent years we have seen a spike in legal cases where either governments or corporations were taken to court over the climate crisis. This episode delves into the heart of climate litigation, especially its contribution to the fight against the climate emergency. Is it one of the solutions, driving positive change, or a distraction, diverting attention from the real solution? This episode will unpack different approaches to these questions with contributing guests addressing the issue of placing too much (or too little) faith on climate litigation as a game changer. Guests: Dr Carolina Arlota, Associate research scholar at Columbia Law School and non-resident fellow at the Sabin Center for Climate Change Law. Aref Shams, PhD candidate in international law at University College London. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
