Smarter than the Storm

Smarter than the Storm takes a deep dive into the Artificial Intelligence’s transformative potential to accelerate climate action, boost resilience and fundamentally reshape how we understand and manage the challenges ahead. However, technology itself consumes vast amounts of energy and water, contributing its own footprint. This challenge mirrors the complexity and urgency of climate itself. But rather than obstacles, these challenges can open the door to transformative solutions: green data centres that not only reduce environmental impact but also empower and uplift local communities; open and sovereign AI models designed to democratize technology; and vast reservoirs of climate data unlocked for public access to fuel innovation and enable new climate technologies. Grounded in a multidimensional view and inspired by real possibilities, this book challenges us to understand today’s interconnected challenges and imagine how innovation, knowledge and collective will can transform threats into opportunity.
