<p>Across this series, we’ve traced the many emergent tensions between AI as both a potential  solution and barrier to addressing the world’s most urgent climate and environmental dilemmas. In this final episode, Hanyuan ‘Karen’ Wang and Luis Felipe R. Murrillo discuss the complex arena of climate finance - highlighting these key tensions and potential pathways forward. Hanyuan discusses the need for tools for businesses to navigate the complex climate policy landscape, and the role of private-sector involvement. Luis highlights the difficulties of collecting quality climate data, the importance of data stewardship in bridging the gaps between experts and community needs, and the potential of ‘commoning’ as a way to envision alternate, sustainable frameworks and funding models. </p><p><br></p><p><strong>Speakers</strong></p><p><strong>Hanyuan ‘Karen’ Wang</strong></p><p>CEO and Founder, <a href="https://www.climind.co/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Climind</a></p><p><a href="https://www.climind.co/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Climind</a> is a platform that delivers actionable climate data infrastructure through AI technologies to facilitate mitigation and adaptation solutions.

Murillo</strong></p><p>Assistant Professor of Anthropology at University of Notre Dame</p><p>Luis Felipe R. Murillo’s work is primarily dedicated to the study of the intersections between computing and politics from an anthropological perspective. Based on long-term, collaborative ethnographic research, his research explores questions of commoning and anti-commoning in science and technology. Across several projects spanning hacker networks in the Pacific Rim to open technology development at CERN, LF&#39;s work investigates how underground computing collectives design and implement digital technologies in response to pressing social, political, and environmental issues.
