UNFCCC Technology Mechanism COP30 Masterclass on AI for Energy Systems
Global Not ApplicableThis Masterclass on AI for Energy Systems is organized by the UN Climate Change Paris Committee on Capacity-building (PCCB), the Technology Executive Committee (TEC), and the Climate Technology Centre and Network (CTCN), in partnership with the Korea International Cooperation Agency (KOICA). During the Masterclass, participants explored how artificial intelligence can be used for low-emission, climate-resilient energy systems. The event is part of the UNFCCC Technology Mechanism Initiative on AI for Climate Action, which explores the potential of AI as a technological tool for advancing and scaling up transformative climate solutions in developing countries, particularly in LDCs and SIDS.
Activity Type Trainings/WorkshopsGlobal Initiative on Resilience to Natural Hazards through AI Solutions
Global GreeceItalySlovakiaSpainThe Global Initiative on Resilience to Natural Hazards through AI Solutions seeks to advance the use of AI and other emerging technologies in disaster management while ensuring it is safe, responsible, and effective. A core focus of the initiative is laying the foundation for international AI standards and best practices to guide the design, deployment, and governance of AI solutions for hazard detection, monitoring, response, and recovery. By convening expert working groups, workshops, collaborative challenges, and connecting the dots between standards and existing proof-of-concept projects connecting the dots between standards and existing proof-of-concept projects, initiative provides a platform for governments, industry, and civil society to contribute to interoperable, ethical, and inclusive AI frameworks. Through these standards-driven efforts, the initiative aims to strengthen resilience to natural hazards and support the UN’s broader goals of disaster management, sustainable development, and technological innovation.

Global Not ApplicableThe UNFCCC Technology Executive Committee (TEC) launched the AI Innovation Grand Challenge in partnership with Enterprise Neurosystem. The challenge is a climate innovation competition to identify new AI applications for climate mitigation and adaptation action in developing countries and to make them available open-source as a public good.
Activity Type Research/Reports/AssessmentsClimate Week Yeosu Event: Delivering AI for Climate Action in Developing Countries
Global Not ApplicableCo-organized by the UNFCCC secretariat and the Korea International Cooperation Agency (KOICA), the lead partner of the #AI4ClimateAction Initiative, this event was designed to showcase achievements under the Initiative and facilitate collaboration by leveraging the convening power of the Climate Week. This event offered a platform for developing and developed country governments (e.g., National Designated Entities), AI innovators, big tech companies, climate-tech start-ups and development cooperation agencies to learn from each other and build partnerships on AI-powered climate solutions with follow-up channels facilitated through the #AI4ClimateAction Initiative and KOICA.
