APEC Climate Experts Convene in Dalian to Advance Extreme Weather Management with AI
Climate experts from across the Asia-Pacific region gathered in Dalian, China, for the APEC Climate Symposium. The event, co-hosted by the Korea Meteorological Administration (KMA) and the APEC Climate Center (APCC), focused on 'Technology Innovation for Extreme Weather Risk Management in the APEC Region.' Discussions centered on leveraging advanced climate prediction technologies and early warning systems, particularly artificial intelligence (AI), to enhance disaster response capabilities against extreme weather phenomena like heat waves, wildfires, and floods. The symposium emphasized the need for a preemptive risk management system to mitigate social and economic damage. Experts shared case studies on technology applications, including wildfire monitoring and intelligent early warning solutions. A key agenda item was the 'co-production' approach, aiming to bridge the gap between scientists and policy/field practitioners to ensure climate information directly translates into effective disaster reduction...
