<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New";color:black">The catastrophic impact of climate change has propelled environmental sustainability to the forefront of academic inquiry. The sustainability challenge is multi-dimensional,
involving complex interactions and necessitating trade-offs among conflicting values of various stakeholders. Artificial intelligence (AI) offers innovative solutions for mitigating the adverse impacts of climate change and adapting to evolving planetary conditions.
These solutions range from earlier and more accurate detection of climate risks to advanced predictive capabilities that support decision-making, as well as immersive applications that help individuals reconnect with the natural environment.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New";color:black">This minitrack adopts a socio-technical-ecological perspective to explore how AI, including generative AI and intelligent agents, can be harnessed to promote environmental
sustainability and address the challenges posed by climate change. We invite research of all types, from conceptual work that develops theories around AI to empirical investigations of the interplay between AI and sustainability-related phenomena and design
work that creates novel solutions and approaches.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
