Empowering Citizens for Climate Adaptation in Norway: Leveraging (AI-Driven) Emerging Technologies

Addressing the growing societal risks associated with climate change necessitates a nuanced and holistic perspective. A gap exists between scientific knowledge and the active involvement of citizens in the formulation and execution of risk-mitigation strategies. This paper details the creation of the Klima 2050 Chatbot, an innovative AI-driven tool designed to enhance the communication of climate adaptation research. Utilizing the advanced capabilities of GPT-4, the Klima 2050 chatbot serves as a reliable source for experts and the public, ensuring accurate information delivery and a user-friendly interface. The successful pilot phase has demonstrated the Klima 2050 chatbot's ability to synthesize scientific knowledge into coherent responses. Future developments aim to expand data sources, improve infrastructure, and fine-tune models, positioning the Klima 2050 Chatbot as a key resource in climate adaptation discourse and an essential tool for an informed society facing climate change challenges.
