Please join the Center on Global Energy Policy (CGEP) at Columbia University’s School of International and Public Affairs for a special webinar “Can AI Help Reduce Emissions of Greenhouse Gases?” A new 17-chapter volume by CGEP Inaugural Fellow David Sandalow and a team of 24 co-authors explores that question.

The Artificial Intelligence for Climate Change Mitigation Roadmap (Second Edition) provides introductions to both AI and climate change, examines the potential for AI to help reduce emissions in eight sectors (including the power sector, transport sector, and manufacturing), and analyzes cross-cutting issues including the role of large language models. The Roadmap also explores the rapidly growing power demand for AI and the extent to which computing operations for AI will increase emissions. Please join us for a presentation of the Roadmap and an opportunity to ask questions to the Roadmap’s principal co-authors.


This webinar will be hosted via Zoom. Advance registration is required. Upon registration, you will receive a confirmation email with access details. The event will be recorded and the video recording will be added to our website following the event.

This event is open to press, and registration is required to attend. For media inquiries or requests for interviews, please contact CGEP Communications ([email protected]).

ICEF Artificial Intelligence for Climate Change Mitigation Roadmap (Second Edition)

Can artificial intelligence help cut emissions of greenhouse gases? In this second edition of the Artificial Intelligence for Climate Change Mitigation Roadmap, a team of 25 co-authors led by CGEP Inaugural Fellow David Sandalow explores that question, finding that AI has the potential to make significant contributions to fighting climate change. The Roadmap’s 17 chapters provide introductions to AI and climate change, examine the potential for AI to help reduce greenhouse gas emissions in eight sectors and discuss cross-cutting topics such as large language models and government policy. Each chapter includes 5-10 specific, actionable recommendations for realizing AI’s potential to help fight climate change.
