The world stands at a critical crossroads where climate action is no longer just about policies, but also about algorithms. As AI becomes central to predicting disasters, managing emissions, and building climate resilience, questions of fairness and access grow louder. Will artificial intelligence empower vulnerable nations, or leave them even further behind? This debate gained urgency in January 2025 when UN Secretary-General António Guterres warned that the world risked splitting into AI "haves" and "have-nots". The concern: wealthy nations and tech corporations might monopolize AI advancements while the Global South is sidelined especially in the climate fight. At the COP29 climate summit in Baku, nations signed the Baku Climate Unity Pact, a bold commitment to provide $300 billio...

In a game-changing climate study, researchers have harnessed artificial intelligence (AI) to predict extreme Atlantic Niño and Benguela Niño events up to 3–4 months in advance, offering new hope for protecting marine ecosystems and coastal communities that rely on them. Led by Marie-Lou Bachèlery at the CMCC (Euro-Mediterranean Center on Climate Change), this research marks a major leap in our ability to forecast complex oceanic phenomena that were once considered nearly impossible to predict. Published in Science Advances, the study introduces a deep learning model trained on 90 years of ocean temperature data, delivering unmatched accuracy and early warnings for climate anomalies in the tropical Atlantic. Why It Matters The Tropical Atlantic, particularly the Angola-Benguela Upw...
