AI for Climate Resilience Program

Empowering communities on the frontlines of climate change

ABOUT THE PROGRAM

Turning data into climate impact

The AI for Climate Resilience Program is a global initiative by Klarna to accelerate the use of AI in tackling the local effects of climate change. It identifies and supports innovators developing practical AI solutions for communities most exposed to climate risks, turning pilot ideas into scalable tools for adaptation and resilience.

The program helps communities in lower-middle-income countries (LMICs) use artificial intelligence to strengthen their ability to face climate challenges through resilience and adaptation. Through funding and mentorship, the program supports local teams in creating practical AI tools that address real needs — helping people prepare for, adapt to, and recover from climate-related shocks.

The AI for Climate Resilience Program focuses on system-wide change by supporting projects that build trust, collaboration, and sustainable behaviour across civil society. Beyond grants, participants receive tailored guidance on how to apply AI responsibly for public benefit, strengthen organisational capacity, and scale their solutions for long-term impact.

The Projects

Explore the projects

Real impact happens when ideas meet action. These projects harness the power of AI for climate resilience and adaptation, turning innovation into practical solutions that help communities prepare for and respond to a changing climate. From building disaster resilience and protecting biodiversity to securing vital resources like water and food, they empower those on the frontlines to adapt and thrive.

Overview

Building on Klarna’s ongoing commitment to sustainability through its Climate and Nature Transformation Funds, the initiative expands the company’s use of AI for global climate impact.

Milkywire developed a call for proposals in July 2025, with a two-month window, casting a wide net with evaluation criteria focused on empowerment and co-creation and targeting climate vulnerable communities. Focus was drawn on the added value of AI to create practical outcomes and rewarding innovations which promised scale and integration into local structures to create ‘system-level’ impact.
