Can you create a methodology or process flow to assess climate risks and vulnerabilities for cities? As climate change escalates, so do the dangers from heat extremes, droughts, storms, sea level rise, and floods.
The Innovate4Cities AI x City Climate Action Hackathon seeks innovative minds to develop a Rapid Climate Change Risk Assessment by leveraging #ArtificialIntelligence. 🚀
The upcoming #Innovate4Cities Conference 2024 is being delivered as a complementary event to the ICLEI Global Research and Innovation Symposium, which was held on 18 June at the #ICLEIWorldCongress in São Paulo, Brazil. The Symposium's takeaways will help feed directly into the conference. Through the #hackathon, we want you to help us deliver a high-level understanding of Brazilian cities' risks and vulnerabilities to climate hazards so that they can select and prioritize the most impactful actions to implement.
Interested in bringing up your skills to make a difference? Mark your calendar:
👩💻 Kick-off webinar: Join this session to learn how to get involved, gather insights on the problem, what data is available, and how you can use your knowledge and perspective to provide a solution to help any Brazilian city adapt and thrive in the face of climate change.
