Quarterly Briefing Series: Applied AI for Sustainability

Join Jeremy Tamanini for a quarterly briefing series on the state of applied AI for sustainability in 2026. To receive an invitation to the next briefing, sign up here.

The tension between the mushrooming environmental impacts of data centers running AI systems and the scant evidence that AI is producing tangible sustainability value in enterprises and organizations has reached a boiling point.

In these quarterly briefing series, Jeremy will present concrete data and insight (not dreamy hypotheticals) about the state of the applied AI for sustainability ecosystem, including:

1) the overall state of play & policy developments around sustainable AI in 2026, with a focus on the US, EU and Asia Pacific markets
2) the most promising platforms and tools emerging from the applied AI for sustainability ecosystem and new offerings from legacy providers
3) the steps you can take this year to create the right conditions for applied AI integration in the future

In advance, take a read of my paper “Applied AI for Sustainability: Opportunities for Integration.” It was published 4 months ago which feels like an eternity in this space, but still contains valuable insights and data on the topic. These insights include detail on new and legacy companies developing AI platforms and products to support enterprises in reducing scope 1, 2, 3 emissions, making carbon reporting more efficient, and promoting circularity and innovation.
