Artificial Intelligence, Environmental Management, and the Low-Carbon Economy examines how AI tools are being applied to emissions monitoring, resource management, climate risk modelling, and environmental decision-making, while also confronting AI's own energy footprint. The book offers a balanced, research-grounded view of AI as both a tool for decarbonisation and a growing driver of energy demand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExamines AI applications across emissions monitoring, environmental management, and climate risk modelling.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAddresses the energy and carbon footprint of AI infrastructure itself.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConnects technology, environmental economics, and policy in a single framework.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDraws on contemporary case studies of AI-driven sustainability initiatives.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRelevant to both technology and environmental policy audiences.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCoverage\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAI tools for environmental monitoring and resource management.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClimate risk modelling and decision support systems.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe energy demand and carbon footprint of AI and data infrastructure.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAI's role in low-carbon economic transition strategies.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePolicy, governance, and regulatory implications.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWai Ching Poon writes on the intersection of technology, environmental economics, and sustainability, with a focus on how digital and AI-driven tools are reshaping environmental management and the broader transition to a low-carbon economy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntroduction: AI at the Intersection of Technology and Environment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAI for Environmental Monitoring and Resource Management\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClimate Risk Modelling and Decision Support\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Energy Footprint of AI and Digital Infrastructure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAI and the Low-Carbon Economic Transition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGovernance, Policy, and Regulatory Perspectives\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eToward a Balanced AI-Sustainability Strategy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy buy this book?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAI's relationship with sustainability cuts both ways — a powerful tool for decarbonisation, and a growing source of energy demand.
