NO Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming how we address global environmental challenges. This Scientific and Technical Advisory Panel (STAP) Information Note explores AI’s potential to accelerate the delivery of Global Environmental Benefits across all the Global Environment Facility (GEF) focal areas: biodiversity, climate change, land degradation, international waters, and chemicals and waste, while highlighting critical environmental, social, and governance risks. It explores opportunities for leveraging AI in project design, monitoring, evaluation, and knowledge management, and presents examples of AI use across the GEF partnership and networks.
