Claiming to harness the potential of AI in combating climate change and nature loss, Jeff Bezos' Earth Fund has announced a $100 million grant program called the AI for Climate and Nature Grand Challenge.
This grand challenge aims to harness AI technology in combating climate change and mitigating environmental degradation.
Bezos Earth Fund is donating $100 million and accepting proposals from experts across fields on how AI technology can be used to help combat climate change. about Bezos Earth Fund, here.
Addressing the climate crisis, not wars, should be on top of world’s to-do list, one of the world’s top climate scientists said on Sunday. India should be prepared to face killing heat and related disasters, Friederike Otto, senior lecturer at the Grantham Institute of Climate Change and the Environment at London’s Imperial College, said in an interview with Jayashree Nandi. The climate emergency is supercharging floods, droughts and heavy rain across the world, said the leading climate...
By Amy Gunia, CNN (CNN) — India is one of the world’s top spacefaring nations. It is the first Asian country to reach Mars orbit, and the fourth on the planet to take a spacecraft to the moon, landing closer to the south pole, known for its cratered terrain, than anyone else has. But its
Global warming, now dubbed "climate change," which covers both the cooling and warming of the globe, is tied for Americans' last priority.
The Dominican Republic, known for good weather, will have 124 fewer “outdoor days” in 75 years — implying a huge hit to its quality of life and its tourism-dependent economy. Here’s how the rest of the world stacks up.
Boston appointed its first climate chief officer Wednesday morning.
California has unveiled an ambitious plan to help combat the worsening climate crisis with one of its invaluable assets: its land. Over the next 20 years, the state will work to transform more than half of its 100 million acres into multi-benefit landscapes that can absorb more carbon than they release, officials announced Monday. The so-called nature-based solutions will span natural and working lands such as forests, farms, grasslands, chaparral, deserts and other types of ecosystems and urban...
Tired of watching Clear customers get escorted to the front of the airport security line? California state Sen. Josh Newman sure is. Newman (D-Fullerton), who frequently travels between his Orange County district and Sacramento, said Clear's system of charging a premium for special access to a taxpayer-funded service has become a regular source of outrage. “Over time, you get kind of aware of the degree to which the Clear service has kind of an adverse effect on the people who don’t use it,"...
Sparking global momentum and energy in young people through climate education can go a long way to addressing climate change now and in the near future.
As extreme weather events increase around the world due to climate change, the need for further research into our warming planet has increased as well. For NASA, climate research involves not only conducting studies of these events, but also empowering outside researchers to do the same. The artificial intelligence (AI) efforts spearheaded by the agency offer a powerful tool to accomplish these goals.
