Rethinking Climate Strategy in an AI-Driven Economy

Artificial intelligence is playing an increasingly central role in climate strategy and is rising up the boardroom agenda. From tracking emissions and forecasting supply-chain risks to improving reporting, AI provides the speed and insight needed to turn ambitious environmental targets into measurable results. It is increasingly viewed as a critical lever for accelerating decarbonisation and resilience.
The question is no longer whether AI can deliver impact, but how quickly organisations will embed it into core operations. Responsible use is essential – both to manage AI’s own energy demands and to ensure that sustainability gains are credible and long-term. In a landscape where investors and regulators increasingly view carbon as capital, companies that use intelligent technologies to decarbonise at scale will be placed to drive value and build resilience.
This Financial Times breakfast briefing, held in partnership with SAP, will convene business leaders at New York Climate Week to examine how AI can be deployed to accelerate decarbonisation. Leadership in the transition will depend on using intelligent technologies to accelerate decarbonisation while embedding carbon as a measure of business value.
