* [[Data management, cleaning and imputation|'''Data management, cleaning and imputation''']]
* [[Remote sensing|'''Remote sensing''']]
* [[Computational text analysis]]: Natural language processing can be used to analyze text documents, which are an important source of information for climate policy.
 
=== Decision science ===

=== Modeling and planning ===
 
* '''[[Agent-based modeling]]:''' ABMs are used in simulating the actions and interactions of agents in their environment, and ML can help integrate data-driven insights into these models, for example by learning rules or models for agents based on observational data.
* '''Energy system modeling'''
* '''Urban planning:''' With new techniques such as [[surrogate modeling]], ML can help with complex planning tasks.
* '''[[Power System Planning]]:''' Algorithms for planning new low-carbon energy infrastructure are often large and slow. ML can help speed up or provide proxies for these algorithms.
* '''[[Integrated assessment models]]:''' IAMs are large simulations used to explore future societal pathways that are consistent with climate goals, which can be improved with ML.
 
=== Ex-post policy analysis ===
 
* '''Causal inference with machine learning'''
