ADAPTATION
Cornell Tech’s 2024 Urban Tech Summit, scheduled for November 19-20, is an initiative of the Jacobs Technion-Cornell Institute. Focusing on the theme “Intelligence for Climate Adaptation,” the Summit will explore how AI can enhance understanding of climate risks, optimize urban systems under climate stress, and combine human and machine intelligence for equitable adaptation.
The two-day event will gather a diverse group to participate in panels, keynote addresses, fireside chats, and interactive workshops. It offers a platform to learn and share insights on the collaboration between humans and technology in climate adaptation.
