Climate resilience in the age of AI

Climate tech is evolving at a rapid pace. New tools coming online can help communities better assess climate risk and provide insights that help mitigate the worst impacts of climate change. They can also help public agencies and private sector organizations reduce costs and improve outcomes. But new technology can bring new risks. AI and other advanced technology platforms come with concerns around privacy, social equity, energy usage—and whether they’ll actually deliver as promised.

We're co-sponsoring a convening with NYU’s Urban Systems Lab and NYU's Tandon Center for Urban Science and Progress during NYC Climate Week about this pressing topic. The session will focus on emerging technologies, strategies, and tools to advance climate resilience in the public sector. It will also include audience Q&A and discussion about the benefits and risks with advanced climate technologies.

This session is ideal for public agencies, private sector entities and NGOs working on public sector resilience, and NYU academics and students. Register today for this important conversation.

This event will take place on the 1st Floor of 6 MetroTech Center in Brooklyn at the NYU Tandon School of Engineering Maker Space, Room 116. Please visit the NYU Tandon website for directions and a campus map. Advance registration is required for campus access at NYU for external guests.
