Abstract

The African Union’s Climate Change and Resilient Development Strategy and Action Plan (2022-2032) highlights the use of computers and the internet as critical in building climate resilience across Africa. SHARON TSHIPA reviews research on the potential of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in mitigating or reducing loss and damage from extreme weather and also natural events (such as earthquakes and volcanic eruptions) across the continent.
