In late 2025 Klarna closed a call for applications to its new AI for Climate Resilience (AI4CR) Program. Through funding and mentorship, the program supports local teams in creating practical AI tools that address real needs — helping people prepare for, adapt to, and recover from climate-related shocks. This write-up takes a closer look at insights from over a thousand project applications to understand how AI is being applied to support grassroots resilience.

Spending time in the field offers a perspective that no report or virtual meeting can replicate.

These visits are a crucial way to understand how our partners translate finance into tangible environmental outcomes and how local communities, ecosystems, and science come together in practice.

The Milkywire Climate Transformation Fund uses corporate climate funding to make as much progress as possible towards reaching global net zero. This means identifying projects with high potential for impact, often tackling problems that few others are working on. This year, we found three inspiring solutions to three really big problems.
