climate Action and Information for communities (cAIc)

The political will of those most affected by climate change is needed to drive policy change, but the lack of contextualizing data, stories, and connections is a barrier to solutions. This project will pilot a distributed and scalable multi-modal generative AI that builds power for disadvantaged communities at the frontline of climate impacts in Harlem, Connecticut, Dakar, and beyond. By generating foundational stories, data, tools, and strategies on a common platform that networks communities across regions, the project aims to radically accelerate the capacity, innovation, and power of frontline communities in ways that transform the field of climate action for the better. The generative tool will produce increasingly effective communication materials across and within communities while, at a deeper level, powering strategy informed by increasingly diverse sources.
