AI is influencing how we allocate resources and make sustainable decisions for both people and the planet. However, the environmental impact of AI, notably itâs large energy consumption, is part of a much more complex picture. At Conservation International, we are working to ensure that AI is used in ethical, responsible, and inclusive waysâwhile also considering the broader implications for the environment. Featuring Ali Swanson, Conservation International Director of Technical Initiatives. #ClimateWeekNYC

ð±ð When we think about nature's role in climate solutions, forest protection is often top of mindâand itâs important. However, sustainable agriculture also holds immense potential to limit climate change.  ð¥Â Conservation Internationalâs Patricia Zurita and Bronson Griscom share how smarter farming practices could remove billions of tons of CO2 every year while keeping food production intact. By planting trees along field boundaries, farmers can make a measurable impact and generate economic incentives without major changes to their livelihoods or income.  Discover how technology is helping communities worldwide monitor the effectiveness of these sustainable efforts.  #ClimateWeekNYC
