Part 2: Real-World Case Studies: The Power of Maths, Machine Learning, and AI
Our journey into the intersection of mathematics, machine learning, and AI in climate action wouldn’t be complete without highlighting some real-world applications.
Firstly, Google and DeepMind have collaborated to maximise the power output of Google’s wind farms. By using a machine learning algorithm to predict wind power output 36 hours in advance, they managed to increase the value of the wind energy produced by 20%.
IBM’s Green Horizon Project, another ground-breaking initiative, uses AI and machine learning to fight climate change. The project uses machine learning to forecast air pollution, generate real-time pollutant tracking maps, and provide decision-makers with strategies to reduce emissions and improve air quality.
In the fight against illegal fishing, OceanMind uses AI and machine learning to analyse vast amounts of data from satellites and ship transponders, enabling their AI to identify suspicious fishing activity and protect our oceans for future generations.
Your Role: The Future of Climate Action
So, how can you play a part in this grand narrative? By harnessing the power of mathematics, machine learning, and AI, you can make a significant impact on climate change and sustainability.
As a woman in these fields, you bring fresh, diverse perspectives that are incredibly valuable. You can ask questions that haven’t been asked, see patterns that haven’t been seen, and offer solutions that haven’t been considered.
As you embark on this exciting path, remember this: climate action isn’t just for activists or politicians – it’s for mathematicians, scientists, and engineers. It’s for problem-solvers, thinkers, and innovators. It’s for you.
~~~ Teens in AI, a UK-based initiative, is a fantastic resource for teen girls and young women interested in mathematics and technology. They offer a range of exciting programmes to teens aged 12 to 18 to equip them as future leaders of AI:
AI4Good Incubator

If you wish to deepen your understanding of AI, these online courses are perfect. They cover a wide range of topics, from the basics of AI and machine learning to more advanced subjects.
All teens on Free School Meals can join any programme or course for FREE, with those who don’t qualify, taking advantage of 15% off by using the code MATHS4GIRLS at checkout.
Remember, every challenge is an opportunity in disguise. The complex problems of climate change and sustainability demand innovative solutions, and the tools of mathematics, machine learning, and AI are at your disposal. Your unique perspective and problem-solving capabilities are needed now more than ever.
In the words of the renowned computer scientist Grace Hopper, “The most dangerous phrase in the language is, ‘We’ve always done it this way.’” Never be afraid to challenge the status quo, to ask the hard questions, and to push the boundaries of what’s possible. With the power of mathematics, machine learning, and AI, you have the potential to change the world.
So, let’s take on this challenge together. Let’s ask the hard questions, solve the complex problems, and shape a sustainable future. After all, this isn’t just about climate action – it’s about the future of humanity. Your journey begins now, and we can’t wait to see where it leads.
