Google.org , Google’s philanthropic arm, has announced its support for four Indian innovators through the APAC Sustainability Seed Fund 2.0. This program aims to empower organizations across the Asia Pacific region to develop cutting-edge solutions to combat climate change. The selected Indian organizations will utilize AI and technology to address critical environmental challenges.
The four Indian organizations – INREM Foundation, CEPT Research and Development Foundation (CRDF), Institute for Financial Management and Research (WELL Labs), and Gujarat Mahila Housing Sewa Trust (MHT) – will receive funding to develop and scale their innovative solutions. INREM Foundation will develop AI-enabled open digital solutions to provide communities with access to water contamination data. CRDF will use machine learning and satellite imagery to protect lakes and their function as carbon sinks.
WELL Labs will build advanced models to offer detailed insights into water security challenges at the village level. MHT will develop an AI-powered model to identify urban heat islands and suggest targeted community-centric solutions. These innovative solutions have the potential to create a significant impact in combating climate change in India and beyond.
