#ClimateChange, Artificial intelligence and climate migration equity | It is generally believed that climate-related sea level rise and extreme weather events and their social, economic, and political consequences will result in some form of displacement for hundreds of millions of people (IPCC, 2023; Clements, 2024), with the majority living in or from the Global South (Almulhim et al., 2024). s

Artificial intelligence and climate migration equity - Humanities and Social Sciences Communications
In recent years, there has been a significant increase in the number of people displaced by climate-related damage to the physical and social environment. These migrants are more exposed to climate-related environmental damage than others and more vulnerable to its social and health impacts because they possess fewer resources for mitigation and adaptation. Emerging artificial intelligence (AI) tools and approaches may help improve understanding of climate migration and immobility and support more timely, equitable interventions to reduce avoidable harm before, during, and after displacement. While AI systems have already been applied to climate modeling, disaster forecasting, and public health surveillance, their adaptation to the context of climate-induced displacement remains under-studied and unevenly implemented. Specific AI applications can address the lived realities and systemic vulnerabilities of climate migrants, such as anticipatory relocation, equitable health service provision, and sustainable infrastructure in host regions. However, we must first address certain issues such as the risk of fostering greater inequality through inherent biases in training data; developing public-private-academic collaboratives to collect and integrate high-resolution, localized and open-access datasets tailored to address disparities; prioritizing energy-efficient algorithms and hardware and balancing performance with environmental sustainability; and developing responsible models of AI governance that capture co-design and co-ownership of the design process with climate migration stakeholders including vulnerable and affected communities. We therefore call for empirical research to document the effectiveness of current and proposed initiatives to apply AI in supporting climate migration equity and overcoming methodological and operational limitations and implementation risks. By aligning technological innovation with human-centric values and global justice, AI may contribute to shifting climate mobility policy from crisis response toward resilience-building, if paired with rights-based governance and accountable implementation. While most applications remain pilot-based, context-specific, and unevenly evaluated, this article advances a structured framework to guide future empirical research and governance.

[https://sopuli.xyz/post/42994044] > > Heatwaves of this scale, the report
forecasts, are expected to occur just once every 500 years. Such rare
occurrences make it challenging for researchers to estimate how often these
events might happen if the climate warms further. But the current attribution
study estimates that, if the climate warms another 1.3°C, heat events so extreme
that they are forecasted to happen just once every 100 years will become 6.4
times more likely and 1.8°C hotter.
