On 22 January, at Goals House Davos, ClimateGPT 3 will be officially launched during a roundtable discussion on Planetary Boundaries – New Modes of Action in a World Beyond 1.5°C. Internet Archive Europe is proud to support this initiative, which explores how open knowledge, data, and technology can help societies understand and respond to accelerating climate risks.
A New Lens on Climate Action
As the world moves beyond the 1.5°C threshold, governments, businesses, and constituencies are showing declining engagement. Emission reduction targets and transition plans – already deemed insufficient by scientists – are being scaled back.
This raises a fundamental question: should public and private resources focus on adaptation rather than mitigation? Is it time to embrace the unimaginable—an adaptation agenda at scale—and learn to live with climate change?
In this context, new modes of change are emerging: less globally aligned, more bottom-up, technologically empowered, and often citizen-led.
Daniel Erasmus, Founder of ClimateGPT and Head of AI of Internet Archive Europe, will unveil the third iteration of Public Good AI ClimateGPT at Goals House.
ClimateGPT empowers people on the ground by combining vast decentralised datasets ranging from satellites to citizen science input: emissions, earth observation, country, company, sector, and city data to reveal their implications for human systems. The tool maps cascading risks—for example, how a storm in Indonesia can trigger socio-economic and political consequences in rice-consuming countries—helping us understand and act in a world of interconnected vulnerabilities.
Why We Support This
This initiative perfectly aligns with the Internet Archive Europe’s mission of Universal Access to all knowledge. ClimateGPT demonstrates that when we combine planetary-scale datasets with open, decentralized technology, we empower citizens and governments to make better decisions. It is AI built for transparency and adaptation, not just automation.
