There is a growing need to prepare students to address complex environmental challenges, particularly climate change and the expanding role of artificial intelligence (AI). This article examines the adaptation of the Artificial Intelligence for Social Good (AI4SG) Ideation module, a pitch- and project-based teaching framework designed to integrate AI literacy and sustainability education.

Integrating diverse decision models into agent-based models (ABMs) enhances the realism of adaptation decision-making in climate change scenarios, showing that behavioral heterogeneity can introduce as much or more uncertainty than economic or environmental factors while improving predictive accuracy.

The climate crisis often leaves us feeling powerless, creating a cycle of inaction that worsens the situation. While the knowledge and solutions to transition exist, gaps in policy and action hold us back. Isabell Steidel shares an example of planting trees to inspire climate action, only for systemic resistance to lead to failure, showing how the environment pays the price for inaction. Isabell Steidel is a Sustainability Advisor and Founder driving socio-ecological transformation in Heilbronn.
