The article explains the wide implications of artificial intelligence (AI) to the transformation of how the issue of climate change is being communicated at the international diplomatic level. As the role of climate change in international governance continues to grow, there is a need to devise efficient communication policies that will support international cooperation and the successful negotiation and implementation of climate agreements. This paper attempts to describe how artificial intelligence (AI) technologies (natural language processing (NLP), machine learning, and high data analytics) may be applied to diplomatic speech. Not only to improve communication but also to adapt the communication to various cultural, political, and socio-economic environments is the focus. In order to be more effective and prove clearly and convincingly why the climate crisis can be called a serious issue, refute fake facts, and engage various stakeholders, including governments, non-governmental organizations, and civil society in a successful dialogue, the governments, policymakers, and international organizations can resort to the power of artificial intelligence (AI). The article describes the application of AI to enhance the provision of messages related to climate in a manner which is sensitive to the values and norms of various countries. The paper concludes by adding to the existing body of knowledge the question whether the concept of artificial intelligence (AI) can be deployed in a strategic manner in order to better global climate governance and assist all people in recognizing the potential and rational climate solutions.
