Description
1) Objective
The AI for Climate Resilience Program is a new initiative by Klarna that aims to support pioneering projects that leverage artificial intelligence for climate adaptation in underserved, climate-vulnerable regions. The program will back projects that help local communities adapt to a changing climate and build long-term resilience. This includes for example strengthening food security, enhancing health systems, and building coastal resilience in regions that are particularly vulnerable to climate impacts.
They aim to support projects that deliver on one or several of the following types of outcomes:
- Harness and elevate local knowledge. Discern, organize, and analyze community insights to generate concise, actionable information accessible both to large-scale actors (e.g. governments, NGOs) and the very communities that contributed it.
- Develop and demonstrate novel AI applications in real-world settings—such as smartphone-based AI advisers for smallholder farmers to enhance resilience, or AI-powered climate-risk assessments for low-lying islands to inform infrastructure planning and relocation strategies.
- Improve and enhance adoption, cost-effectiveness or sustainability of existing AI solutions for climate adaptation and resilience, including advancing ecosystem-wide knowledge by contributing open datasets, benchmarks, or best-practice insights that benefit the broader AI-for-adaptation community.
2) Eligibility
They’re inviting proposals from organizations working to reduce vulnerability of local communities to climate-related risks in low- and middle-income countries.
3) Location
Actions must take place in low- and middle-income countries worldwide.
4) Budget
Grants of up to $300,000 will be awarded to selected projects, alongside an opportunity to get access to a support network of mentors, training and community of practice.
5) Application
Applications are open until 31 August 2025. They are done online.
