New initiative harnesses AI to accelerate climate adaptation in vulnerable regions worldwide.
Klarna, the global digital bank and payments provider, today launched its AI for Climate Resilience Program, a pioneering initiative using artificial intelligence to strengthen climate adaptation and community resilience across some of the world’s most affected regions.
The AI for Climate Resilience Program is a global initiative by Klarna to accelerate the use of AI in tackling the local effects of climate change. It identifies and supports innovators developing practical AI solutions for communities most exposed to climate risks, turning pilot ideas into scalable tools for adaptation and resilience.
“AI has transformed how people make financial decisions, and we believe it can do the same for climate adaptation,” said David Sandström, CMO at Klarna. “Through this program, we’re empowering innovators to interpret complex environmental data and turn it into locally relevant solutions for challenges like food and water security, public health, and disaster preparedness.”
Klarna will provide each organization with tailored mentoring, technical, and strategic support over 18 months, in addition to funding, to help scale their solutions responsibly, allowing participants to leverage Klarna’s deep expertise in applying AI and responsible technology. Klarna has spent the last two years implementing AI into every part of its business, spearheading practical application and experiencing the acceleration first-hand. Now, we’re applying that experience to help tackle one of the biggest challenges of our time: helping communities adapt to climate change.
