AI for Earth and Sustainability Science | AI for Good Discovery - Machine learning for Earth Observation: Emissions, mitigation and sequestration

Constellations of satellites such as the SENTINELs provide almost daily coverage of the earth using a variety of sensors: multispectral and hyperspectral images, synthetic aperture radar, LIDAR, etc. Recent advances in machine learning allow us to process these images at planet scale on a near real-time basis and to paint a very broad picture of key climate related topics such as greenhouse gas emissions, wildfire risk, flooding or carbon sequestration in forests. This talk will cover some of these examples in depth, illustrating some key open numerical challenge.

We have less than 10 years to solve the UN SDGs and AI holds great promise to advance many of the sustainable development goals and targets. More than a Summit, more than a movement, AI for Good is presented as a year round digital platform where AI innovators and problem owners learn, build and connect to help identify practical AI solutions to advance the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. AI for Good is organized by ITU in partnership with 40 UN Sister Agencies and co-convened with Switzerland.
