COP delegates in Turkey have been told the world needs AI driven early warning systems to tackle climate challenges.
During the national statements by heads of state and government, many topics were covered – including, repeatedly, early warning systems.
Dr Khalilur Rahman, President of the 81st Session of the UN assembly, said during the panel: “Early warnings should reach the last mile and anticipate new threats, such as glacial floods. New technologies including artificial intelligence should properly be employed to enhance early warning systems.”
He continued on to say that “speeches do not cool our planet” – action does. In this case, it seems that AI early warning systems are the action of choice for many countries and representatives attending COP.
This sentiment was continued by Celeste Saulou, the Secretary-general of the World Meteorological Organisation, who said that according to their data, in countries where early warning systems are properly implemented, deaths due to disasters are six times lower than those without.
It’s clear the message is less talking and agreeing on action and more implementing early warning systems and AI to make a difference.
