Information is not Implementation: Early evidence from using machine learning for climate policies when state capacity is low
Climate change adaptation policies are increasingly using machine learning to make use of more information and provide more accurate predictions of extreme weather events.

This talk will draw upon a set of recent (ongoing) field experiments to highlight the importance of designing ML-based climate policies that account for last mile implementation constraints and low citizen trust in the state.
