People, Planet, Progress: An opportunity for an international agreement on AI climate sustainability at India’s AI Impact Summit 2026
OECD.AI published a new commentary by CIL researcher Dr Jon Truby entitled ‘People, Planet, Progress: An opportunity for an international agreement on AI climate sustainability at India’s AI Impact Summit 2026’
The commentary outlines practical steps for an international agreement on AI climate sustainability at India’s AI Impact Summit 2026, integrating AI compute into the Paris Agreement architecture so countries account for model and data-centre emissions.
He makes the case for mandatory emissions disclosure for AI systems and data centres, alongside shared efficiency and green-procurement standards to drive lower-carbon compute, and for coordinated action via the UNFCCC, UN, OECD and G20 to avoid policy fragmentation.
Dr Truby is an expert member of the OECD.AI Climate & Compute ad hoc body.
