Nordic network for collaborations around tackling climate change using AI and machine learning.

Community win: Klimatkollen secures 3 MSEK to analyze climate plans with AI

We are thrilled to announce a major success story born directly from the Climate AI Nordics network! Our partner Klimatkollen has been awarded 3 million SEK from the Swedish Postcode Lottery Foundation (Postkodlotteriets stiftelse).

Through collaborations established within our network, Klimatkollen will partner with Norwegian research center NORCE. Together, they will deploy “Garbo AI” to analyze and compare climate plans from 150 Swedish municipalities. By utilizing ClimateView’s Transition Elements Framework (TEF), the project aims to standardize how we view local transition efforts and empower citizens to hold local governments accountable.

The analysis will be grounded in the Transition Elements Framework (TEF) from ClimateView, alongside research from NORCE. This unique collaboration will turn complex documents into comparable data, helping municipalities improve their strategies and giving citizens the tools to monitor progress.

Climate AI Nordics launches official YouTube channel

Published:

To celebrate our one-year anniversary, Climate AI Nordics is launching a new YouTube channel dedicated to sharing knowledge within the AI and climate community. The channel features a complete set of recordings from the inaugural Nordic Workshop on AI for Climate Change held in Gothenburg this past May. In addition to workshop content, viewers can access an extensive library of past webinars covering topics such as biodiversity monitoring, weather forecasting, and Earth system modelling. We invite researchers and practitioners to explore these valuable resources and join us as we look forward to another year of collaboration and innovation.

Featured paper: Separating the Albedo-Reducing Effect of Snow Impurities Using Machine Learning

Published:

This study presents an AI-driven inversion framework that uses a deep-learning emulator of a radiative transfer model to estimate snow albedo and quantify the impact of light-absorbing particles (LAPs) such as dust, black carbon, and algae. Trained on 5.8 million simulations, the method accelerates computations by 30× while maintaining accuracy, enabling large-scale mapping from drone or satellite data. Applied to field observations, it revealed strong but variable LAP effects on albedo and complex interactions between multiple impurities, offering a powerful tool for improving melt forecasts and climate projections.
