Sustainability AI: Building Your Path From Concept to Action

Climate action has always faced a fundamental challenge: the gap between the urgency of the crisis and the slow pace of measurement and decision-making. For enterprises, it can take months to produce a reliable measurement and often companies risk making decisions based on outdated data. Many have recognized the potential for artificial intelligence to close that efficiency gap, but are held back by the challenge of moving from concept to practical execution. And with the energy expended through AI and the risks, an informed approach is essential.

This workshop takes you from wondering “what could AI do for our sustainability efforts?” to walking away with a concrete plan you can implement immediately.

You’ll work through three critical building blocks that separate successful AI sustainability initiatives from the rest:

• Streamline your process – Learn practical approaches to ease the burden of measurement and reporting, giving you more time back for strategy and decarbonisation.

• Move from speed to impact – Explore reliable approaches for using AI to reveal patterns in your sustainability data that human analysis may miss, enabling smarter resource allocation and more strategic decision-making.

• Set your guardrails – Develop a clear AI governance framework that accounts for the energy implications of AI systems and ensures you focus only on the most impactful uses for the energy expended.

By the end of this session, you’ll have the foundation of your sustainability AI roadmap – not just ideas, but actionable next steps you can take back to your organization. No hype, no theoretical futures. Just practical tools and a clear path forward.
