Hosted by the Academies of Science, Engineering, and Medicine
Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions information can be used to measure, allocate, and reduce emissions across many sectors. By gathering accurate and efficient data on GHG emissions, we can gain important insights on reducing these emissions that contribute to climate change and monitor the impact of mitigation policies on the level of carbon in the atmosphere. This webinar will feature two technical presentations defining the core concepts of GHG emissions information, which will be followed by a moderated discussion about the use cases for GHG emissions information. A Q&A session with the audience will follow.
This webinar is the first episode of a three-part educational webinar series, an activity of the National Academies Roundtable on Artificial Intelligence & Climate Change. The Roundtable seeks to foster ongoing discussions, shared learning, and nimble coordination around emerging issues related to AI and climate change, including: how AI can combat climate change; the environmental impact of AI itself; and strategies for mitigating the impacts of AI energy consumption and climate effects.
