Drawn from Qatar National Dialogue on Climate Change (QNDCC) held in October of 2023, this paper’s findings and analysis synthesize insights from the panel session “Artificial Intelligence (AI) Solutions to Combat Climate Change” and supplementary research. The paper highlights the significant role AI plays in addressing the urgent and complex challenge of climate change, presenting findings and recommendations essential for enhancing Qatar’s national sustainability goals and fostering local and regional initiatives.

AI has emerged as a pivotal technology in combating climate change. Its potential to process vast data sets, make accurate predictions, and optimize resource utilization offers a promising solution to the environmental challenges posed by climate change. Qatar’s initial adoption of a national AI strategy, crafted in collaboration with the Qatar Computing Research Institute (QCRI) as part of Hamad Bin Khalifa University (HBKU), signifies a crucial and positive step toward recognizing AI’s instrumental role in steering the nation toward a more sustainable future. However, it is acknowledged that much more is required to fully realize the potential and impact of AI in addressing the complexities of climate change.
