This year, the theme of the World Economic Forum in Davos was ‘Collaboration for the Intelligent Age’ acknowledging that we’re on the brink of a technological revolution that has the possibility to transform our approach to climate action. Since the launch of ChatGPT in 2022, AI and other groundbreaking technologies have exploded into the mainstream, reshaping industries and offering new tools to tackle climate change. But while these advances hold incredible promise, much of the world, especially the global south—has been left behind. In this episode we discuss what these new technologies mean for climate action in reality, asking if they will help or hinder the fight against climate change. Can the pace of innovation match the urgency of the climate crisis? And will it be worth the cost to move the dial faster?
