Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) can help support climate change mitigation and adaptation, as well as climate science, across many different areas, for example energy, agriculture, forestry, climate modeling, and disaster response.

However, impactful research and deployment have often been held back by a lack of data and other essential infrastructure, as well as insufficient knowledge transfer between relevant fields and sectors.
The relationship between AI and climate change is also nuanced, and can manifest in various ways that either contribute to or counteract climate action. Thus, the use of AI for climate action must be performed with considerations of impact, responsibility, and equity at the center.
$1.4 Million in Climate Change AI Innovation Grants
Climate Change AI Innovation will allocate grants of up to USD 150K for conducting projects of 1 year in duration. Grantees must publish a documented dataset (or simulator), which was created by collating, labeling, and/or annotating existing data, and/or by collecting, simulating, or otherwise making available new data that can enable further research.
- Projects for the Main Track should leverage AI or machine learning to address problems in climate change mitigation, adaptation, or climate science, or consider problems related to impact assessment and governance at the intersection of climate change and machine learning.
- Submissions to the Methane Special Track should leverage AI or machine learning to address problems in methane-related climate change mitigation in the short/medium term period (well before 2040).
- Submissions to Dataset Gaps Special Track should have, as their primary focus, the creation of a documented dataset (or simulator) by collating, labeling, and/or annotating existing data, and/or by collecting, simulating, or otherwise making available new data that can enable further research.
Projects are expected to result in a deployed project, scientific publications, or other public dissemination of results, and should include a carefully considered pathway to impactful deployment. All grant IP — e.g., the dataset/simulator produced and (if applicable) trained models or detailed descriptions of architectures and training procedures — must be made publicly available under an open license.
Each application must have a Principal Investigator (PI) who is affiliated with an accredited university in one of the 38 OECD Member Countries. Duplicate submissions made to multiple tracks may be disqualified.

I am very glad to have this opportunity if I succeeded and i will abide by the rules and regulation of your organisation
Thanks alot
Thanks for the opportunity to present our environmental project besides the effective and accessible nutrients super food for the disadvantaged.
We are excited to introduce our plans for a biodiesel production project in Nigeria, focusing on cultivating Moringa Oleifera trees across a vast land plot of 75,000 hectares. Initially, we will embark on a pilot project spanning 30,000 hectares, with each hectare expected to yield 3,000 liters per annum. This biomass will be processed into high-quality biodiesel meeting ASTM D6751 standards.
We are eager to explore potential collaboration opportunities and would appreciate the chance to exchange correspondences with your esteemed organization. Through discussions, we aim to identify synergies and ways to work together towards achieving our goals. Please let us know if this opportunity interests you, and we can schedule a meeting to discuss further.
It will be a great opportunity to for me to have such grant it will go a long way to mitigate climate change in my country state local government and community as a whole
