Climate Change AI Summer School 2026 (online)

Climate Change AI (CCAI) is the established nonprofit behind the long-running "Tackling Climate Change with Machine Learning" workshop series at NeurIPS, ICLR and ICML, and its annual Virtual Summer School is the educational counterpart to those research workshops, running online from 19 July to 22 August 2026. Because the entire organisation exists to apply machine learning to climate problems, this is genuinely AI-core: the curriculum covers ML methods for energy systems, climate modelling, remote sensing, mitigation and adaptation - AI is the central tool, not a peripheral mention at a policy event.

For the directory this is an AI-for-climate entry whose value is precisely its accessibility: as a free, fully virtual programme it reaches learners in small states, island nations and under-represented regions that cannot send people to NeurIPS or ICLR. It blends lectures from leading researchers with hands-on tutorials and mentoring, and is pitched at students, early-career researchers and practitioners who want to move into the field. As a recurring, well-documented programme run by a credible nonprofit, it is a verifiable, on-theme inclusion that broadens both the geographic and topical reach of the directory.
