Welcome to the AI/ML solutions for Climate Change live pitching session! This is a global start-up pitching session to find the most promising solutions using AI to solve climate change challenges. The contest, which was launched at the AI for Good Global Summit 2023 by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) is open to any innovative start-ups using AI, machine learning and advanced algorithms to address the impact of climate change on food security and sustainable water resources.
WHAT IS AI FOR GOOD INNOVATION FACTORY?
AI for Good Innovation Factory is a UN-led pitching platform to help start-ups grow and scale their innovative AI-powered and SDG-driven solutions, by connecting them to potential business partners, investors, governments, big IT companies and more.
This Innovation Factory focused on climate change gives start-ups a global stage to promote and help grow their innovative, AI-powered and climate-driven solutions.
For those who are seeking ground-breaking solutions from start-ups, it is an excellent platform to explore opportunities to meet promising ventures and collaborators.
AI for Good partners have identified five problems for contestants to solve in the areas of food & climate-smart agriculture and water resource management:
How can AI help estimate soil properties across large areas? (based on data collected from infrared spectroscopy, gamma spectrometry techniques and satellite imagery)
How can AI help map and monitor soil moisture levels? (using data from cosmic ray neutron sensors and gamma spectrometry techniques, in combination with satellite imagery)
How can AI complement the Earth Map to help users identify water-related challenges in specific areas and provide useful insights on and analyses of water resources?
How can AI help identify water resources vulnerable to climate change and support flood and drought forecasting and early warning?
How can AI be integrated into isotope hydrology studies to support water management and mitigate the world’s water problems?

What is AI for Good?
We have less than 10 years to solve the UN SDGs and AI holds great promise to advance many of the sustainable development goals and targets.
More than a Summit, more than a movement, AI for Good is presented as a year round digital platform where AI innovators and problem owners learn, build and connect to help identify practical AI solutions to advance the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
AI for Good is organized by ITU in partnership with 40 UN Sister Agencies and co-convened with Switzerland.
