Abstract

The global challenge of climate change demands innovative solutions, and big data emerges as a formidable ally in this endeavor. This article delves into the pivotal role of big data in mitigating the impacts of climate change, unveiling its profound influence on climate modeling, disaster prediction, renewable energy optimization, and policy formulation. Through a comprehensive literature review and methodological exploration, this study elucidates how big data-driven insights have revolutionized climate science. From analyzing vast datasets to predicting extreme weather events, big data transforms the fight against climate change into a data-driven journey toward a sustainable future. The synthesis of research methodologies and real-world applications underscores the indispensable role of big data in shaping global resilience
