“”My time at Climate Week allowed me to see the collaboration, research and work that is going on across the world in tackling one of the greatest problems facing us today. The experience left me even more motivated to continue my path in the climate world, and hopeful for the future after hearing from and speaking to so many amazing people. In particular, I was impressed by the improvements AI can make in weather forecasts and by how restoring nature and national security can tie together.”
