San Francisco, CA. September 23, 2024 - Planette has been selected to join the Clinton Global Initiative (CGI) Greenhouse 2024 cohort, which focuses on nurturing entrepreneurs and innovative technologists making positive social change around the world. Planette was selected for its physics-informed, AI-powered environmental forecasting technology, which demonstrates that AI can be a powerful force for good, providing the tools and knowledge needed to adapt to our changing world and build a more resilient future.
“At Planette, we perfectly align with CGI Greenhouse's mission by combining science and AI to tackle climate change adaptation and resilience. We provide crucial environmental intelligence that helps businesses, governments, and communities plan effectively for a warmer, more volatile future,” says Planette CEO Dr. Hansi Singh.
By offering actionable insights about environmental volatility in the coming weeks, months, and years, Planette empowers decision-makers at all levels to make informed choices and build resilience against the climate-related challenges they face right now, not in 30 years.
Planette’s inclusion in CGI Greenhouse 2024, particularly our invitation to speak on the Spotlight Session Panel: AI Applications for Greater Social Impact, underscores the positive potential of AI in driving meaningful change. While many AI technologies face justifiable criticism, Planette’s environmental forecasting system demonstrates how artificial intelligence can be harnessed to address one of the most pressing issues of our time - climate change adaptation to build a resilient future for us all.
