Nowadays, countries face unprecedented environmental challenges because of climate change and the rapid growth of digital transformation. Artificial intelligence presents chances to support the administration of environmental resources and achieve sustainability. But at the same time, it may increase energy consumption and double the carbon footprint if it is not arranged effectively. In this context, the administration plays a central role in setting the policies and organizing the technology usage to ensure environmental protection and achieve climate justice via an equitable cost distribution, setting the benefits of environmental transition, and protecting the most vulnerable groups. The agreement of Paris in 2015 is considered an international and political framwork which detect the obligations of countries by emission reduction and promoting sustainable development. It constitutes a standard for evaluating the effectiveness of national policies. This study focuses on the mechanisms via which the country adopts technical development with sustainability and climate justice goals, including planning, monitoring, and decision-making tools that minimize environmental risks of artificial intelligence. The study also discusses the strategies that create a balance between the benefits of modern technologies and the protection of the environment, emphasizing that the success of any policy depends on the state’s ability to balance international obligations, climate justice, and international benefits to ensure a more sustainable environment for current and future generations.
