The International Organisation for Migration and Microsoft have teamed up to address climate-induced displacement by harnessing artificial intelligence and data insights.
The scale of displacements triggered by weather-related events underscores the urgent need for more data highlighting the impacts of climate change on migration. “Our collaboration with IOM demonstrates how AI helps address the urgent challenges posed by climate-driven displacement,” says Dr Juan Lavista Ferres, chief data scientist and director of Microsoft’s AI for Good Lab. “These projects show how local teams on the ground can unlock insights with AI to anticipate risks and respond with solutions that improve the resilience of communities.”
Meanwhile, in the Maldives, projections indicate that by 2050, approximately 9 000 people could be displaced by rising sea levels. Some islands may see over 70% of their populations at risk, while the analysis identified five islands that are likely to remain safe. These findings are essential for guiding migration and adaptation policies in collaboration with the Maldivian government.
