The world faces escalating environmental and healthcare challenges, from climate change to managing natural resources and providing efficient medical services. These issues are complex, often requiring intricate modeling and intervention from domain experts. Traditional analytical methods need help to cope with the complexity and scale of these challenges, leading to inefficiencies and suboptimal outcomes. There is a pressing need for innovative solutions that can enhance our ability to address these issues effectively. Advancements in Climate and Smart Environment Technology present a compelling solution to these pressing problems. By leveraging the power of artificial intelligence (AI) techniques, we offer a path toward more efficient and effective solutions in environmental engineering, healthcare management, and natural resource conservation. AI provides the tools to model complex systems, optimize processes, and make informed decisions without constant expert intervention, thus revolutionizing these fields. This book is a comprehensive guide for scholars, researchers, and practitioners in various fields related to environmental and healthcare sciences. It explores the applications of AI in areas such as innovative environments, sustainable agriculture, climate change mitigation, and healthcare delivery.
