Issue Abstract

Abstract

In a world that is at the dawn of a triple planetary crisis, where climate disasters that plague ordinary lives have become frequent visitors, we are at a standstill. With lives being lost as every second passes, humanity requires comprehensive solutions. As climate change intensifies the frequency and severity of natural disasters, the integration of Artificial Intelligence into climate modeling and disaster resilience has emerged as a promising approach. 

Through this paper, I aim to explore the perceptions, opinions and concerns of today’s youth, surrounding the role of Artificial Intelligence in enhancing climate modeling and strengthening global disaster response efforts. The study adopts an online survey with snowball sampling in order to collect responses from a wide range of youth. Having collected 100 responses from young people studying in different fields, the study provides an analysis of how the young generation perceives this AI driven shift. The study tells us that today's youth are quick to accept and adopt this changing technology. They are aware of the benefits and risks it brings, and are willing to participate and contribute towards solving the climate crisis. AI development in the field of climate modeling and disaster resilience need not be confined to the experts alone, for now we have an eager and curious young generation, filled with passion and innovative ideas, ready to make a difference.

Keywords: Artificial Intelligence, Climate Modeling, Disaster Resilience, Youth, Climate change, Disaster Management, Youth Perceptions, AI integrations
