AI in Sustainable Development Learning: Integration in Climate and Digital Transformation Courses

Global

In 2024, the UN System Staff College Knowledge Centre for Sustainable Development (KCSD) integrated emerging discussions on Artificial Intelligence (AI) into two of its major learning programmes. The first is the facilitated online course, The Paris Agreement on Climate Change as a Development Agenda, where Module 6 introduces AI as a cross-cutting enabler in supporting climate mitigation and adaptation strategies. The second is the Digital Skills Capacity Building (DSCB) module, which focuses on how digital transformation can be harnessed to advance sustainable development outcomes. It bridges theory and practice by equipping participants with practical digital skills such as product design and deployment in solving some of our pressing environmental problems. The module zooms on the opportunities AI offers the unintended consequences of widespread AI use in designing and utilizing digital products for sustainable development. These efforts represent UNSSC’s steps in building AI literacy and responsible innovation capacity within the broader framework of the 2030 Agenda.
