Challenges & Mitigation Strategies

Limited environmental monitoring infrastructure

Impact: Insufficient data for AI models

Mitigation: Invest in comprehensive sensor networks and satellite data access

High costs of environmental technology

Impact: Budget constraints limiting deployment

Mitigation: Demonstrate ROI, secure green financing, and explore PPP models

Complex and interconnected environmental systems

Impact: Difficulty modeling and predicting outcomes

Mitigation: Use systems thinking, ensemble models, and expert validation

Public awareness and engagement challenges

Impact: Low participation in environmental programs

Mitigation: Invest in education campaigns and demonstrate tangible benefits

Climate change uncertainty and variability

Impact: Reduced prediction accuracy and planning challenges

Mitigation: Use scenario planning, adaptive management, and continuous model updates
