Professor Lim Chul-Hee of the Department of Forest and Environmental Systems at the College of Science and Technology, Kookmin University (President Jeong Seung Ryul), delivered a keynote presentation on artificial intelligence and climate resilience at a workshop hosted by the United Nations (UN) from May 12 to 14, 2026.

“ Titled “Strengthening Whole-of-Society Capacities for Disaster Risk Reduction and Climate Resilience: Inclusive Governance and Innovative Mechanisms,” this workshop was an online capacity-building event co-hosted by relevant UN agencies, including the UN Department of Economic and Social Affairs (DESA), the Climate Technology Centre and Network (CTCN), the UN Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNDRR), and the United Nations Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR). Over 5,000 participants, including representatives from UN agencies and government officials from developing countries, attended the event. Professor Lim Chul-Hee delivered a keynote speech titled “The Era of Automation and Artificial Intelligence for DRR and Climate Resilience.”

In particular, this lecture presented a global direction for responding to climate change in the age of artificial intelligence. By introducing numerous AI-based climate change response technologies developed at our university, it served as an opportunity to showcase Kookmin University’s research capabilities and technologies to the world.

Professor Lim Chul-Hee stated, “It is highly significant that Kookmin University’s key technologies were introduced to the world at an international event organized by the UN,” and expressed his ambition, saying, “We will contribute to the global response to climate change through the technologies developed at our university.”
