A new episode of ADAPT Radio explores how artificial intelligence literacy and climate education can help young people navigate the challenges of digital transformation and environmental sustainability.
Host Dr Claire O’Connell is joined by Dr Stephen Davy, Research Centre Manager at TU Dublin’s Centre for Sustainable Digital Technologies, and Jing Fang, project lead at UNESCO’s Regional Bureau for Science and Culture in Europe, to discuss the Green Futures programme.
Developed to support secondary school students, Green Futures provides practical tools to evaluate digital technologies, understand their environmental impact and critically assess climate-related information.
The discussion examines how Irish schools can integrate AI and climate education, connect digital innovation with local sustainability initiatives, and explain complex AI systems through practical classroom mathematics. The episode also considers the energy demands of AI infrastructure and the importance of helping students critically evaluate climate news.
