Alignment with DF goals (BGI, Platform growth, community)

EcoPeace AI leverages satellite data, climate models, agricultural patterns, and social data to predict regions at risk of conflict due to environmental stress. The system would highlight areas vulnerable to drought, famine, or resource depletion and identify populations at risk of displacement or unrest. Governments and peace organizations could then intervene early with peace-building resources.

Problem description

Climate change is increasingly causing resource-based conflicts, especially in vulnerable regions. Water wars, food insecurity riots, and displacement are escalating tensions globally. There are limited tools that proactively flag these potential conflicts with enough lead time for intervention.

Proposed Solutions

EcoPeace AI uses a blend of climate data, AI-driven simulations, and socio-economic models to predict ecological conflict hotspots. It provides dashboards and alerts to policymakers, NGOs, and peace missions. By making these predictions accessible, stakeholders can engage in early dialogue, provide aid, or mediate disputes before they escalate.
