Theme:  AI for a Green Future: Reflecting on 10 Years of Sustainable Development Goals Progress.

Introduction:

The 17 Sustainability Development Goals (SDGs) Agenda for 2030 was established by the UN Summit back in 2015 which envisions promoting prosperity while protecting the planet. To achieve the 17 SDGs, governments across the globe took ownership and responsibility to establish their national frameworks. To seamlessly and clearly incorporate the SDG goals in their innovation and technological activities, the 17 SDGs were embedded in their research and innovation roadmaps. Research and innovation, in the context of the 17 SDGs, refers to the systematic investigation and creation of new knowledge and technologies that address the interconnected challenges facing humanity and the planet. This then involves a wide range of disciplines and approaches, from fundamental scientific research to applied engineering and social innovation. These activities are all geared towards achieving a more sustainable and equitable future.

Artificial Intelligence for a Green Future provides a transformative alternative for achieving faster the 17 SDGs. With AI’s analytical computing capability, complex sustainability challenges across diverse sectors can be addressed. AI empowers scientists, engineers, and researchers to design more efficient infrastructure and optimize resource management. In addition, AI can be utilized for advanced climate modeling, biodiversity analysis, and materials discovery. Thus, accelerating the pace of scientific breakthroughs that are crucial for a green transition. With the involvement of AI for the green future, plays a vital role in developing AI ethics frameworks and educating the next generation of researchers and scientists. Realizing the full potential of AI for a Green Future and reflecting on the progress of the SDGs requires a commitment to responsible AI development, ensuring inclusivity, transparency, and ethical considerations. Thus, this collaborative, multi-faceted approach will accelerate progress towards a sustainable and equitable future for all.
