FFG AI for Green

FFG AI for Green is an Austrian government grant program that supports research and innovation projects utilizing artificial intelligence to address environmental protection, climate action, and biodiversity preservation. The program aligns with Austria's goal to achieve climate neutrality by 2040 and advances sustainable development objectives through AI-driven solutions for environmental challenges.

The protection of the environment, climate, resources and the preservation of biodiversity are central goals for a sustainable development of the world (SDGs). Only through far-reaching transformation steps in all areas of life will people be able to secure a world worth living in for future generations. In this context, the Austrian federal government has set itself the goal of achieving climate neutrality by 2040. In order to achieve these goals, measures must be taken to protect the climate and the environment (mitigation) and to adapt to the consequences of climate change (adaptation). Research in the field of artificial intelligence/artificial intelligence (AI/AI) can support technology and politics in curbing climate change and thereby contribute to protecting the environment. The provision or further development of algorithms and AI systems can help, for example, in adapting to the consequences of climate change by providing the energy, production, agriculture and forestry or disaster management sectors with a more precise basis for decision-making.
