Episode 88 – Hot topic: AI and adapting to climate change

The consequences of climate change are becoming increasingly noticeable, even in our region. Extreme heat or heavy rainfall bring droughts or flooding. Especially in the global South, people are suffering from these extreme weather conditions and from the fact that growing areas are shifting and living space is becoming virtually uninhabitable. On the one hand, data shows us the extent of climate change and on the other, it enables us to react to it. Spoiler: Artificial intelligence (AI) can help us do this even more efficiently. However, there are a few things to bear in mind, as we learned in an interview with GIZ advisor Karlina Octaviany from Indonesia and Ruth Schmidt from the GIZ project FairForward (Link: Open data for AI | BMZ Digital.Global (bmz-digital.global)). Stefan Naumann, Professor of Sustainability Informatics at the Environmental Campus Birkenfeld at Trier University of Applied Sciences, also tells us about the benefits of AI. What do you think about the use of AI and how could AI make agricultural supply chains even fairer? Feel free to write us your ideas on Instagram @ichwillfair. 

Joint statement on the Supply Chain Act

In a joint statement, 33 companies and organisations have committed themselves to the Supply Chain Act. They want to take responsibility together with the German government to make their supply chains sustainable and traceable from the country of production to German and European supermarkets.
