Climate Week NYC: AI Edition
The hottest topic on a hotter planet
Hi all!
Welcome to the first of our sector-specific deep dives. In the lead up to Climate Week, we’ll be highlighting a few of our favorite events by theme.
From forest and biodiversity monitoring to engineered carbon removal to the electricity grid, there’s not an area of climate that isn’t affected by AI. This year, we’re thrilled to be teaming up with Climactic on the ⚡️ Climate Tech x AI unconference on Wednesday the 25th.
