Session brief:

Join CEEW and Google at Temasek's Ecosperity Week 2026, to participate in an interactive Greenprint workshop, Code Red to Code Green: Activating AI for Climate Action in APAC Now, to deliberate on priority actions and tailor recommendations for APAC by 2030, taking forward recommendations by the AI and Climate Expert Engagement Group (EEG) of the India AI Impact Summit, chaired by Dr Arunabha Ghosh (Founder-CEO, CEEW) and joined by Mr Spencer Low (Head of Regional Sustainability, APAC, Google) as an expert member. 

As Asia races toward its 2030 climate goals, the remainder of this decade is pivotal. The Greenprint is a vision to co-develop a practical agenda one that is rooted in the realities of this region. The convergence of AI and climate action presents unprecedented opportunities for APAC, whether it's to predict extreme weather events, optimise crop yields, enable efficient resource use, accelerate the discovery of breakthrough materials for hard-to-abate sectors, or optimise grids for the deployment of renewables. However, as the EEG notes, while AI's capability to transform climate action is proven in research and pilots, translating this potential into policy and business action faces financial, operational and ethical bottlenecks. 

APAC urgently needs a clear, ambitious, and actionable roadmap, especially as this climate-vulnerable region gears up to lead the AI race. To guide innovation and pragmatic action in the run-up to 2030, the workshop will convene leaders from tech, climate, policy, and innovation communities from across the world to reflect on the following questions from APAC’s context:

• What are the urgent climate problems AI can help us solve, and how do we overcome the market failures and data gaps stalling these solutions?
• What will it take to pull AI climate solutions out of "pilot purgatory" and achieve sustained, commercial scale?
• How do we build robust guardrails to ensure AI accelerates climate action without automating inequity or causing hidden harm?
