AI for Good Summit 2025 to Address Climate Change with AI Insights
Geneva, Monday, 28 April 2025.
The AI for Good Global Summit 2025 will explore AI’s role in combating climate change, featuring insights from Dr. Sasha Luccioni of Hugging Face, at Palexpo, Geneva, July 8-11.
Global Platform for AI Innovation
The International Telecommunication Union (ITU), in collaboration with over 40 UN agencies, is organizing this landmark event that will bring together more than 1,000 experts and feature over 200 demonstrations [1]. The summit, co-convened by Switzerland, represents the leading United Nations platform on AI, aiming to bridge the gap between innovation and practical implementation of AI solutions [2].
Climate Change Focus and Expert Insights
Dr. Sasha Luccioni, AI & Climate Lead at Hugging Face, will take center stage to discuss strategic approaches for harnessing AI’s potential in the fight against climate change [3]. The summit’s comprehensive program includes high-level panels, live AI showcases, youth robotics challenges, and artistic installations, offering a multi-faceted exploration of AI’s role in addressing environmental challenges [1].
Standards and Sustainability
A significant focus of the summit will be on environmental sustainability standards for AI implementation. Recent developments include the launch of the Standardization for AI Environmental Sustainability report at the Paris AI Action Summit, which promotes resource efficiency and collaboration between standardization bodies [4]. This builds upon the UN’s broader initiative documenting 408 AI projects across 17 Sustainable Development Goals [4].
Practical Implementation and Future Impact
The summit will be accessible both in-person at Palexpo, Geneva, and online, democratizing access to crucial discussions about AI’s role in environmental protection [1]. This hybrid format aligns with the platform’s year-round mission to connect AI innovators with problem owners to develop practical solutions advancing the UN Sustainable Development Goals [2].
