During the Masterclass, participants explored how artificial intelligence can be used for low-emission, climate-resilient energy systems. The event is part of the UNFCCC Technology Mechanism Initiative on AI for Climate Action, which explores the potential of AI as a technological tool for advancing and scaling up transformative climate solutions in developing countries, particularly in LDCs and SIDS.
Objectives
Raise awareness of the opportunities, risks and challenges involved in using AI for low-emission, climate-resilient energy systems
Enhance capacities for using AI based on concrete case studies from the energy sector
Facilitate the exchange of insights, views and networking among peers and a diverse group of participant
