Agriculture faces the increasing demands of a growing global population amid simultaneous challenges to soils from climate change and human-induced contamination.

The ecological intensification index (EII) is a new tool that helps balance agricultural productivity with environmental sustainability by quantifying both crop yields and ecological services like soil carbon storage. It guides farmers and policymakers in adopting practices that maximize food production while minimizing ecological damage, supporting sustainable agriculture in a changing climate.

Supported by Dubai Cares and together with Unbounded Associates and Plan International, the Ban Ki-moon Centre presents the “

This review evaluates how AI-driven solutions, especially generative AI, can enhance urban energy resilience to help power systems adapt to and recover from extreme weather events and energy crises. By improving energy efficiency, reliability, and robustness, this approach directly supports the transition to carbon neutrality, which is essential for limiting global temperature increase and mitigating the impacts of climate change.

Climate change threatens global food security by reducing crop yields and increasing environmental stresses, requiring urgent innovation in crop resilience through advanced breeding, genetic engineering, and sustainable practices. To succeed, global collaboration, streamlined regulations, public engagement, and integrating field and lab research are essential for developing adaptable, climate-resilient crops that ensure a sustainable food future.
