2027 Nordic Workshop on AI for Climate

About the event

As extreme events following climate change are getting ever more frequent, humanity needs to tackle the new reality on a changing planet on many fronts. Many of the approaches which are in use or under development can be strengthened using advanced analytics tools and optimization techniques. The 2027 Nordic Workshop on AI for Climate will gather researchers from the Nordics. This one-day, in-person workshop, will take place in Oslo, Norway, April 22nd 2027. The workshop will feature a mix of keynotes, oral presentations, and posters around the topics of AI for climate change, including AI for biodiversity and the green transition. The workshop will be a meeting point for a wide range of researchers from (primarily) around the Nordic countries, but other interested people will be welcome too.

This workshop is the 3rd annual workshop in this series of workshops organized by Climate AI Nordics. For a summary of the 2025 edition click here, and a summary of the 2026 event is here.

Invited speakers

Ruben Valbuena, Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences

Title: TBD

Abstract: TBD

Bio: Rubén Valbuena explores the state of ecosystems, and how they change, using data from sensors on satellites, aircrafts and drones. His focus is on forest landscapes and airborne laser scanning, which he uses to analyse carbon sequestration, biodiversity and other ecosystem services. He also works on monitoring progress in international policies tackling climate change and biodiversity loss, by developing methods that can be used worldwide.

More invited speakers to be announced soon!

Poster and oral presentations

The workshop will also have a poster session, where attendants can specify whether they’ll bring a poster when registering for the event (registration link not available yet). In doing so, one can also opt to give a short oral presentation about the poster during the workshop (to be selected by the workshop organizers).

Topics

The workshop will feature presentations on topics such as Earth observation, computer vision, soundscape analysis, natural language processing, geometric machine learning, optimization, and multimodal modeling for climate related applications. Applications in areas such as green infrastructure, species distribution modeling, biodiversity monitoring.

Further topics of interest: The role of policy change, the use of AI to tackle climate change within built environments, transport, material, and product development. AI method development that benefits AI applications within climate change mitigation and adaptation. Sustainable AI.

Note: We warmly welcome also work-in-progress (i.e. also not yet published works) as well as descriptions of ongoing projects and similar.<
