Climate Change Action Through Artificial Intelligence: Putting Knowledge Graphs to Work

This webinar will show you how knowledge graphs, a type of artificial intelligence, can be an essential tool in the fight against climate change. Speakers from the Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Partnership, the Stockholm Environment Institute and the Semantic Web Company will discuss the tangible benefits of the technology in reducing global greenhouse gas emissions and in supporting climate change adaptation decision-making, policy and action.

Climate change is the most complex and challenging topic of our times. Knowledge graphs – technological tools that allow for unprecedented levels of sophistication in connecting disparate facets of knowledge – are becoming state-of-the-art in data science. The technology is accelerating the use of data in the world’s knowledge-driven economies to create modern solutions for data and knowledge management systems.

With a focus on decision and process augmentation, this type of AI helps us connect the dots in data – and to do so automatically. Applications based on knowledge graph technologies allow users to quickly map and support complex knowledge domains and their heterogeneous data structures.

By the end of this session you will understand how artificial intelligence can optimize knowledge structuring and sharing, allowing us to leverage information to adapt to the impact of climate change and move closer to achieving the goals set by the Paris Agreement.
