Abstract

Climate change is a global, pressing, and significant issue due to its transboundary nature. The climate change observed today is predominantly a human-induced phenomenon rather than a natural process. It has numerous adverse effects on human health, as well as social, economic, and particularly environmental systems. Combating climate change involves both reducing greenhouse gas emissions, which drive climate change, and enhancing adaptation and resilience to its impacts. In this context, the digitalization of public administration has also influenced efforts to address climate change. The ability to process and analyze data rapidly through digitalization contributes to the more efficient and timely delivery of public services. Consequently, the use of artificial intelligence (AI) has gained prominence in the fight against climate change, both for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and for increasing climate resilience. It is estimated that AI applications could reduce greenhouse gas emissions by up to 4% by 2030. Examples of AI applications in mitigating climate change include macro- and micro-level measurement of greenhouse gas emissions, improving energy efficiency, reducing the intensity and impact of greenhouse gases, and advancing carbon capture and storage technologies. In terms of enhancing climate resilience and adaptation, AI is being used to create hazard forecasts, establish early warning systems, develop smart infrastructure, and implement systems to protect biodiversity. Many international organizations, including the United Nations, the European Union, and the OECD, are actively working on integrating AI into climate change mitigation and adaptation strategies. This study examines the current applications of artificial intelligence in public administration to combat climate change.
