Abstract	The escalating climate crisis, highlighted by a fivefold increase in climate-related disasters from 1970 to 2023, has resulted in 2 million deaths and $4.3 trillion in economic losses (World Meteorological Organization, 2023). In response, artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning have emerged as critical tools for transforming climate mitigation and adaptation. AI-powered solutions, such as Google DeepMind’s GraphCast, enhance weather forecasting accuracy by 90% compared to traditional methods, while flood prediction models using Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks achieve 87% accuracy (Lindsey, 2025; Huntingford et al., 2019). Smart grids optimized by machine learning reduce reliance on fossil fuels, and AI-driven deforestation monitoring systems like Global Forest Watch detect illegal logging with 90% precision (Asendorpf, 2021). Despite these advancements, challenges persist, including high computational energy demands, exemplified by GPT-3’s significant carbon footprint, data privacy concerns, algorithmic biases, and adoption barriers (Cowls et al., 2021; Kameswari, 2023). Venture capital investments in AI climate solutions have surged to $6 billion (PwC, 2024), yet gaps remain in scalability, ethical governance, and policy frameworks. This paper evaluates AI’s effectiveness in disaster prediction, renewable energy optimization, and environmental conservation, while addressing critical challenges and proposing strategies for sustainable deployment. Key recommendations include investing in energy-efficient algorithms, fostering cross-sector collaboration, and establishing robust regulatory standards to harness AI’s full potential in combating climate change.
