• Topic – AI and Climate Change
measures : A Powerful partnership
INTRODUCTION
• Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly
evolving, offering new solutions to
address the urgent challenges posed by
climate change. AI can help us mitigate
the effects of climate change, adapt to a
changing world, and build a more
sustainable future.
• The power of artificial intelligence (AI) to
process huge amounts of data and
help humans make decisions is
transforming industries.
• As one of the world’s toughest challenges,
combating climate change is another area
where AI has transformational potential.
The Role of AI in Climate
Mitigation
• AI plays a crucial role in mitigating climate change by optimizing energy consumption,
promoting renewable energy adoption, and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
• Energy Efficiency
• AI can analyze data from smart grids and buildings to identify and optimize energy usage,
reducing waste and lowering carbon footprints
• Renewable Energy
• AI algorithms can predict wind and solar energy output, enabling better integration of
renewable sources into power grids.
• Emissions Reduction
• AI can monitor industrial processes and transportation networks to identify and reduce
emissions through optimized operations and resource management .
Renewable Energy Solutions

• AI is revolutionizing renewable energy by optimizing performance, predicting


output, and improving grid integration.
• Resource Optimization
• AI can optimize the placement and design of renewable energy infrastructure,
maximizing energy generation and minimizing environmental impact.
• Cost Reduction
• AI can identify and implement cost-saving strategies for renewable energy
projects, making clean energy more affordable and accessible.
• Smart Grid Integration
• AI algorithms can enhance the efficiency and reliability of smart grids by
optimizing energy flow and managing renewable energy fluctuations.
Predictive Analytics for Disaster Response
• AI can analyze vast amounts of data to predict and
prepare for climate-related disasters, enabling faster
and more effective response efforts.
• Early Warning Systems
• AI-powered early warning systems can detect and
predict extreme weather events, providing timely alerts
to communities at risk.
• Resource Allocation
• AI can optimize the allocation of emergency resources
based on real-time data and predicted disaster impacts,
ensuring efficient and effective response.
• Risk Assessment
• AI can analyze climate models and historical data to
assess the vulnerability of infrastructure and
communities to climate change impacts.
Sustainable Urban Planning with AI

• AI can help us design and manage cities that are resilient, sustainable, and
adaptable to climate change
• Smart Transportation
• AI-powered traffic management systems can optimize traffic flow, reduce
congestion, and promote sustainable transportation modes.
• Resource Management
• AI can optimize water use, waste management, and resource allocation in
urban environments, promoting sustainability and reducing environmental
impact.
• Energy Efficiency
• AI can monitor and control energy consumption in buildings, infrastructure,
and transportation systems, minimizing energy waste and emissions.
• Climate Adaptation
• AI can help cities adapt to changing climate conditions by predicting and
mitigating risks, such as flooding, heat waves, and sea-level rise
Measures to reduce carbon emissions – For Sustainable
development

• AI can play a vital role in developing and optimizing carbon


emissions.
• Process Optimization
• AI can optimize the efficiency and effectiveness of carbon
capture processes, reducing costs and improving
performance.
• Monitoring and Control
• AI can monitor carbon capture systems in real-time,
ensuring safety, reliability, and optimal performance.
• Material Selection
• AI can assist in identifying and developing new materials
with enhanced properties for carbon capture and storage
applications.
LEGAL FRAMEWORK

• The Framework Convention on Climate change (UNFCCC) sets out the basic legal
framework and principles for the international climate change co-operation with the aim of
stabilizing atmospheric concentrations of green-house gases to avoid hazardous impact on
the climate.
• The UNFCCC was adopted in 1992 to prevent dangerous human interference with the
climate mechanism, It establishes the basic legal framework for the international co-
operation on climate change.
• Kyoto Protocol –
• Adopted in 1997, this protocol built on the UNFCC by committing industrialized countries
to reduce their emissions.
• Paris Agreement –
• Adopted in 2015, this agreement requires all the parties to report their nationally determined
contributions to mitiage climate change. The agreement also includes provisions for global
carbon markets and compensating developing countries for loss and damage.
• The Environmental Protection Act of 1986 is the most important
legislation with respect to climate changes in India. The Act confers
power on the Central and State government for the purpose of – First,
protecting and improving the quality of the environment. Second,
preventing and abating environmental pollution.
• The Air Prevention and Control of Pollution Act of 1981 is
innovative legislation that lets the State regulate the standard for
emission of air pollutants. The Act empowers the State to inspect any
factory and check any control equipment and manufacturing process. It
further allows the State to take the necessary steps for the control of air
pollution. No industry can operate without meeting the requirements
mentioned in this act.
• The National Green Tribunal Act of 2010 was enacted to govern the
National Green Tribunal. These Tribunals were established to ensure the
fast and effective disposal of cases that relate to the protection of the
environment. These tribunals also have jurisdiction over cases where a
substantial question relating to the environment arises.
• The Energy Conservation Act of 2001 was enacted to provide a legal framework for the efficient
use of energy. It does this by ensuring that only energy efficient equipment is provided to
consumers and by providing a comprehensive framework for power development.
• The Forest Conservation Act of 1980 was enacted to conserve and protect the existing forests in
India. After the enactment of this act, all forests became the reserved property of the government.
The act also provides a compensatory measure to be taken when any reserved forest is directed to
non- forest purposes.
• The Water Prevention and Control of Pollution Act of 1977 was enacted to prevent pollution of
water through agricultural, industrial and household waste. The act also regulates the cess paid on
the consumption of water.
• The Wildlife Protection Act of 2002 was enacted to protect wildlife within the borders of India.
The act has three main objectives – First, to establish uniform legislation for wildlife.
• Second, to establish a network of national parks and wildlife sanctuaries. Third, to regulate the
illicit trade of wildlife and its products.
• The Biological Diversity Act of 2002 was enacted for the conservation and sustainable use of
biodiversity in the country. This act helps bring India one step closer to the objective of realizing
the equitable sharing of its biodiversity.
WAY AHEAD TO SOLUTION -

• Keep fossil fuels in the ground. Fossil fuels include coal, oil and gas – and the more that are
extracted and burned, the worse climate change will get. All countries need to move their
economies away from fossil fuels as soon as possible.
• Invest in renewable energy Changing our main energy sources to clean and renewable
energy is the best way to stop using fossil fuels. These include technologies like solar, wind,
wave, tidal and geothermal power.
• Switch to sustainable transport. Petrol and diesel vehicles, planes and ships use fossil fuels.
Reducing car use, switching to electric vehicles and minimising plane travel will not only
help stop climate change, it will reduce air pollution too.
• Reduce plastic - Plastic is made from oil, and the process of extracting, refining and turning
oil into plastic (or even polyester, for clothing) is surprisingly carbon-intense. It doesn’t
break down quickly in nature so a lot of plastic is burned, which contributes to emissions.
Demand for plastic is rising so quickly that creating and disposing of plastics will account
for 17% of the global carbon budget by 2050.
