Climate x AI Hackathon (AI for Good in Climate Tech)

​A hackathon weekend of collaborative climate action infused with artificial intelligence, hosted by a climate tech founder.

​Planet Earth has survived uninterrupted for millennial without much trouble, but the rise and development of human civilization has brought the Earth's fragile ecosystem nearly to its breaking point. How can we return back to an equilibrium state where we are one with nature?

​It all starts with humanity acknowledging, learning about, and taking action in the fight against climate change. Want to get involved on a deeper level and contribute your experience, skills, and knowledge in developing innovative climate solutions? Join together with other climate-minded humans and hack for a sustainable future!
