Big Data and Climate Action

The Director of UN Global Pulse talks in this interview about the opportunities and challenges of accelerating solutions to climate change with big data and artificial intelligence during #COP23. The impacts of climate change are rapidly accelerating, and there is an urgent need for demonstrably effective solutions. Simultaneously, a global “data revolution” is unfolding around the world. Analyzing privacy-protected digital data – such as mobile data or bank card transactions – can provide valuable insights into human behavior patterns and climate risk. And more data is being generated now than ever before, offering unprecedented opportunities for the private sector to catalyze climate innovation and influence decision-making on a global level by providing data to vetted researchers who can analyze it for the public good.
