Artificial Intelligence, Digital Public Infrastructure and digital technologies
Digital public infrastructure and Digital Public Goods (DPGs) for Climate are open-access technology systems designed to: (1) aggregate real-time environmental data, climate modeling, and predictive analytics through shared platforms that monitor ecosystem changes and support coordinated responses; and (2) provide open-source access to standardized application programming interfaces (APIs), collaborative databases, and climate software tools that governments, organizations, and communities can use without proprietary restrictions, ensuring equitable access to climate technologies.
How this solution relates to the action agenda
Axis: Unleashing Enablers and Accelerators including on Financing, Technology and Capacity-Building
Key Objective: Artificial Intelligence, Digital Public Infrastructure and digital technologies
Digital public infrastructure and DPGs can accelerate climate action through coordinated data sharing and open access tools, making them essential enablers for achieving global climate targets and key components of the required technological infrastructure. As plug-and-play solutions, they require no proprietary licensing or expensive customization for implementation across organizations and geographies. Their open standards already enable governments and communities to deploy verifiable climate monitoring, emissions tracking, and early warning systems without relying on commercial platforms or reinforcing digital inequities.
More than 500 cities worldwide are anticipated to adopt digital twin technology by 2025. This technology enables cities to create virtual models of their infrastructure, facilitating the management of climate-related issues such as flooding, air pollution, and urban heat islands.
By 2030, the use of digital twins is projected to save cities up to US$280 billion by optimizing urban planning and resilience efforts.
