Union Minister Dr. Jitendra Singh made headlines in New Delhi by announcing India’s strategic pivot towards dominating AI-based climate interventions on a global scale. At the prestigious Technology and Innovation Conclave 2.0, hosted by UNESCAP’s APCTT and India’s DSIR, he called for a unified front against the escalating climate crisis.
‘This isn’t a problem for one country to solve solo,’ Singh remarked, advocating for cross-border alliances. He advocated harnessing AI in tandem with informed decision-making, robust institutions, and worldwide partnerships to forge defenses against erratic weather phenomena.
The era of solitary pursuits is over, he proclaimed. Collaborative ecosystems—spanning scientific fields, public-private domains, and unconventional alliances—are vital for climate action. Cutting-edge innovations must connect proactively with markets, industries, and transfer protocols to deliver real-world impact.
Delving into India’s international ascent, Singh explained how the nation’s expansive terrain uniquely equips it to analyze diverse climate effects and pioneer versatile remedies. These can be exported to aid other countries, fulfilling rising global expectations for Indian ingenuity in tech and environment spheres.
India’s commitment heralds a new chapter where AI empowers collective resilience, setting a benchmark for proactive, tech-savvy climate governance.
