Collaboration and cooperation between all stakeholders is essential, and this has been repeatedly stated. The pooling of data and tools should help create a “collective intelligence” capable of solving some of the problems related to climate change. To achieve this, artificial intelligence is widely deployed , particularly to be able to process and analyze the large amount of data required for projects such as a “ planetary computer ” measuring deforestation or melting glaciers in real time, and accessible to all.

This “ AI for good and for all ” raises certain questions gambling data indonesia and fears, however. The technology is not perfect, and is particularly quick to resort to biases in its analyses . It must therefore be considered above all as a tool, and not a solution , to more quickly acquire the knowledge necessary for humanity, according to the definition of AI by the founder of DeepMind recalled during a round table.

Young people very involved on the subject

Unsurprisingly, young people were particularly highlighted by the various panels for their commitment to a greener future. The problem is that their voice is sometimes far removed from public authorities. They are considered inexperienced or – ironically – too young. To help bring their demands to the fore, entertainment and media players are offering more content reflecting their struggles. They are also increasingly greening their operations, as are tech companies. Let us mention Radio France which, following The Guardian’s example, has committed to favoring certain advertisers who are more respectful of the planet.

The awareness of this committed youth sometimes comes after a feeling of helplessness in the face of environmental disaster and the nonchalance of previous generations on this subject. This “eco-anxiety” affects young people differently depending on their country’s exposure to disasters – 70% of 18-24 year-olds say they are in the United Kingdom. However, they are also the ones who can make a difference, and many stakeholders are calling for them to be better integrated into decision-making processes and projects in favor of a greener world .
