Introduction

The pressing nature of sustainability and sustainable development concerns has escalated which prompting a growing need for effective solutions. Artificial Intelligence (AI) has surfaced as a potent resource to tackle various challenges across multiple sectors and fields. This piece delves into the impact of AI on bolstering sustainability and sustainable development endeavors, emphasizing its most auspicious application domains. This book explore deeply into the crucial juncture where environmental science converges with artificial intelligence (AI), presenting a guide to realizing a sustainable global landscape. The initial sections portray a sobering scenario: climate change, depletion of resources and the erosion of biodiversity pose significant threats to the health of our planet. Conventional methods, the text contends, have proven inadequate. This is precisely where AI assumes its role. The book probes into how the expansive data analysis capabilities of AI can be leveraged to comprehend intricate environmental systems.

Objective

The objectives of this book to offer a thorough comprehension of the relationship between environmental science and artificial intelligence (AI), clarifying the ways in which AI technologies might be utilized to tackle sustainability issues. Innovation Objectives: Through the display of state-of-the-art AI applications in a range of sustainable fields, including renewable energy, biodiversity protection and climate change mitigation, we hope to stimulate creative thinking and inventive solutions. Practical Goals: To provide useful information and resources to help environmental scientists, policymakers, AI researchers, and practitioners successfully incorporate AI into sustainability projects, improving resource management plans and decision-making procedures. Ethical Objectives: To promote conversations on responsible AI deployment, equal access to technology, and the preservation of privacy and human rights by bringing attention to the ethical issues and socioeconomic ramifications related with the use of AI in environmental situations. Collaboration Goals: To advance interdisciplinary cooperation and knowledge sharing amongst stakeholders from various backgrounds such as- academia, business, government and civil society with the shared objective of utilizing the intersection of environmental science and artificial intelligence to create a sustainable world.
