• India is integrating Artificial Intelligence (AI) into its climate action strategy to enhance disaster preparedness and sustainable development.
• AI tools are being used for cyclone intensity estimation, monsoon forecasting, and landslide early warnings.

Impact & Risks

The adoption of AI in weather forecasting and disaster management is expected to significantly reduce infrastructure losses and protect vulnerable communities. Early warning systems in the Himalayan region, with over 90% accuracy, provide alerts for landslides up to three hours in advance. Flood forecasting models are improving preparedness in flood-prone areas like the Ganga and Brahmaputra basins. Coastal monitoring systems are identifying high-risk zones, aiding urban planning and adaptation strategies.
