AI for Climate Resilience Program
Empowering communities on the frontlines of climate change
AI for the communities climate change hits hardest
As an AI-first company, Klarna is backing local innovators leveraging AI to boost communities on the frontlines of climate change. Launched with Milkywire in January 2026, the AI for Climate Resilience Program funds and mentors local innovators in lower- and middle-income countries as they build practical AI tools for adaptation and resilience — from early-warning systems to resource management. Beyond funding, participants receive tailored support build robust solutions and scale their impact.

Real impact happens when ideas meet action. These projects harness the power of AI for climate resilience and adaptation, turning innovation into practical solutions that help communities prepare for and respond to a changing climate. From building disaster resilience and protecting biodiversity to securing vital resources like water and food, they empower those on the frontlines to adapt and thrive.
"At Klarna, we believe the true potential of AI lies in its ability to drive real-world change. Through AI for Climate Resilience, we’re using technology to empower communities to turn data into action — building resilience, protecting livelihoods, and accelerating adaptation where it’s needed most."
David Sandström, Chief Marketing Officer at Klarna
