Driving global progress with AI-powered solutions
Explore key initiatives
Together with our partners, we're accelerating progress toward a more resilient future by applying AI in surprising ways that make an impact—in the clouds formed behind airplanes, the timing of a traffic light at a busy city intersection, and providing first-responders with near real-time insights on wildfires.
Accelerating PJM grid connections to power an electrified world
PJM Interconnection, the largest grid operator in North America, is working with Tapestry, Alphabet's moonshot for the electric grid. Together, they aim to connect new energy sources to PJM’s grid much faster—making electricity more reliable and affordable for the 67 million people PJM serves.
Partnering with Earth Fire Alliance to use AI for faster wildfire detection
FireSat is a satellite constellation that uses high-res imagery and AI to provide near real-time insights on wildfires. Developed in partnership with Google Research, Muon Space, Earth Fire Alliance, Moore Foundation, wildfire authorities, and others, FireSat enables faster detection, improved situational awareness for first responders, and ultimately helps reduce the devastating impacts of wildfires.
Using AI to give flood-prone communities time to act
Google Flood Hub displays forecasts based on a breakthrough global hydrological AI model to predict riverine floods up to seven days in advance. As of 2025, our flood forecasting information covers more than two billion people in around 150 countries for the most significant and impactful riverine flood events.¹
Transforming planetary information into actionable intelligence
Built on years of modeling the world and Gemini’s advanced reasoning, Earth AI is helping enterprises, nonprofits, and cities with everything from environmental monitoring to disaster response.
Improving traffic flow and making city streets more efficient
Using AI, Green Light optimizes traffic lights to reduce vehicle stops, helping alleviate congestion and decrease emissions while improving urban mobility for people in cities around the globe.
Reducing planet-warming contrails using AI
Contrails—the thin, white lines seen behind airplanes—account for roughly 35% of aviation's global warming impact. Google Research teamed up with American Airlines, EUROCONTROL, and academic experts to bring together huge amounts of data—and used AI to develop a cost-effective and scalable way to help to mitigate aviation's climate impact.
Producing state-of-the-art forecasts up to 10 days in advance
Using AI models from Google DeepMind and Google Research, WeatherNext can produce affordable, fast, and accurate weather predictions up to 10 days in advance, and a range of likely future weather scenarios up to 15 days in advance.

The estimated population covered for significant events is as of July 2025, based on the forecasted flood risk area, using the WorldPop Global Project Population dataset. Significant flood events are events that meet a predetermined threshold based on an internal rating scheme that takes into account a number of factors.
