Taller de Medición Ambiental: IA para la Protección y Evaluación del Medio Ambiente
Description
La Escuela Avanzada de Medición Ambiental de Ihobe, en colaboración con EUSTAT, tiene como propósito impulsar la mejora del medio ambiente en Euskadi mediante una medición precisa, rigurosa y basada en el conocimiento. La recopilación y el análisis de indicadores ambientales no solo permiten evaluar el estado actual del entorno, sino que también constituyen herramientas esenciales para identificar oportunidades de mejora y orientar políticas públicas efectivas.
En la actualidad, la incorporación de la Inteligencia Artificial en la elaboración y el perfeccionamiento de estos indicadores está transformando profundamente el ámbito de la medición ambiental. Su uso posibilita avances significativos en la interpretación de datos complejos y en la generación de soluciones innovadoras para afrontar los retos ambientales de Euskadi y sus implicaciones económico‑sociales.
Objectives
Impulsar una comunicación transparente y rigurosa dirigida a la ciudadanía sobre el estado del medio ambiente en Euskadi, destacando la importancia de una medición precisa como base para la toma de decisiones y la mejora continua del entorno.
Promover el análisis, actualización y evolución de los indicadores ambientales, poniendo el foco en su utilidad para identificar áreas de mejora y orientar políticas eficaces, especialmente mediante la integración de técnicas avanzadas de Inteligencia Artificial.
Impulsar la colaboración entre instituciones, comunidad científica y ciudadanía para consolidar una cultura de datos abiertos y el uso responsable de herramientas de IA, facilitando la adopción práctica de los indicadores en decisiones públicas y en acciones cotidianas.
