Summary:The authors explored the connections between AI and climate change research as a whole and its usefulness in climate change adaptation efforts in particular. In this study the authors show the various means via which AI can support research on climate change in diverse regions, and contribute to efforts towards climate change adaptation. The surveyed articles were classified under nine areas (e.g., global/Earth related, water-related issues and agriculture), 95% of which are related to adaptation. Water-related management concerns have drawn the most AI-related research (38%). In terms of the survey results, the most robust agreements were noted concerning the capacity of digitization and AI to strengthen governance practices and afford policy coherence in climate change. Evidence gathered in the study suggested that, the use of AI can provide a welcome support to global efforts to better understand and handle the many challenges associated with a changing climate.
