Leveraging Artificial Intelligence for Climate Change Mitigation: Predictive Models, Optimization Techniques, and Sustainable Solutions

Abstract

Climate change presents a critical global challenge necessitating innovative solutions. This paper explores the transformative potential of artificial intelligence (AI) in climate change mitigation through predictive modeling, optimization techniques, and sustainable solutions. By integrating AI with climate science, the research aims to enhance the accuracy of climate predictions, optimize renewable energy resource utilization, and develop AI-driven systems for sustainable urban planning. The introduction outlines the pervasive impact of climate change and identifies current limitations in traditional mitigation approaches. The objective is to harness AI's capabilities to revolutionize climate science by developing advanced predictive models capable of capturing complex climate dynamics and regional variations. Optimization techniques, including genetic algorithms and reinforcement learning, are employed to maximize the efficiency of renewable energy systems, thereby reducing dependency on fossil fuels and mitigating greenhouse gas emissions. Methodologically, the study involves comprehensive data collection from satellite imagery, climate records, and renewable energy outputs. Machine learning and deep learning models, such as convolution neural networks (CNNs) and recurrent neural networks (RNNs), are selected for climate prediction, with rigorous training and validation processes to assess performance metrics. Results showcase the effectiveness of AI in improving climate predictions and optimizing energy resource management. Case studies in smart city simulations and renewable energy integration demonstrate the practical implications of AI-driven solutions for sustainable development.
