Many climate solutions we need to tackle the climate crisis already exist. The problem is that most of these climate solutions are being deployed manually, which doesn't scale. Robotics thus has a role to play in accelerating the deployment of climate solutions.

Climate Robotics is a new and rapidly growing field that uses AI-powered robotics to scale climate action. 

Flying robots can plant and monitor mangroves, collect high-resolution stratospheric data, and serve as wind turbines. Underwater robots can regenerate corals, sink seaweed, and collect data glacier. Ground robots can plant cover crops and clean solar panels. In addition, robotic arms are changing the way we recycle and manage waste.

Climate adaptation projects are meant to help us adapt to the adverse impacts of the climate crisis. Mitigation projects seek to reduce the sources of greenhouse gases or enhance the sinks. Robotics has a role to play in scaling both of these climate strategies.
