How can AI based technologies strengthen climate resilience and reduce impacts of climate shocks for vulnerable households? This session, featuring a presentation by an international researcher on findings from a randomised evaluation of the impact of AI-based flood Early Warning Systems (EWS), followed by a panel discussion with leading experts. Building on this evidence, panellists explore how rigorously evaluated AI applications can support effective climate adaptation strategies, improve preparedness, and translate technological innovations into accelerating climate action.
