UNESCO–UCL, Smarter, Smaller, Stronger (2025)
<aside> ♻️
UNESCO’s work on Green Digital Transformation looks at how digital technologies can support climate action while reducing their own environmental footprint. The programme promotes energy-efficient and resource-efficient AI, responsible use of digital tools for sustainable development, and the integration of climate considerations into digital policy. Recent work includes the UNESCO–UCL research on AI and climate, contributions to COP31, and the AI Climate Institute, which brings together partners to advance climate-responsible AI.
