Holguín, Cuba | Actively Integrating Artificial Intelligence to Mitigate the Effects of Climate Change

 
The Provincial Meteorological Center of Holguín, a city in eastern Cuba, known as the “City of Parks”, characterized by a meticulously designed, grid - based ciy centre, rich cultural history, a blend of colonial, eclectic, and neoclassical architecture,  and offering stunning panoramic views from Loma de la Cruz, is 
actively integrating artificial intelligence (AI to tackle climate change and mitigate its environmental impacts, supported by plans push toward digital transformation and specialized technological tools.

The centre is developing scientific and technological projects  aimed at mitigating the effects of climate change and addressing local problems through the use of artificial intelligence.

 These initiatives focus on improving climate forecasting, enhancing coastal resilience with accurate studies, strengthening agricultural security in response to increasing environmental hazards, particularly in the northeast of the country.

The Provincial Meteorological Center of Holguín deputy director, Zulema Reyes, reported that since the beginning of 2025, research has been carried out on the integrated management of coastal ecosystems in the northeast of the province of Holguín, in coordination with the University of Moa.

The deputy director pointed out that the center is actively working on the development of models aimed at reducing the impact of drought on strategic crops such as sugarcane and robusta coffee, based on climate variability indicators.

According to Crónica Digital news agency, these initiatives are complemented by information models for agroecological zoning, designed to improve the accuracy and speed of agrometeorological services in the region.

Likewise in the municipality of Gibara, known as “La Villa Blanca” (The White Town), a charming, laid - back fishing town, roughly 33 kilometres from Holguín, a pilot programme is being implemented with the aim to optimize the use of meteorological information to strengthen decision - making in the face of adverse phenomena.

Similarly the insititution has also developed a management plan for the Bahía Naranjo protected area located on the northern coast of the Holguín province, renowned for its ecological biodiversity and eco - tourism opportunities, covering 4.2 square kilometres of marine area and surrounded by over 1.200 hectares of forest land, which includes environmental education programs and the definition of the baseline of this biological community. 

Among the most recent results, the Provincial Meteorological Center of Holguín deputy director highlighted the updating of atmospheric forecast scenarios at the local level with projections of up to a century, considered a key tool for the scientific - technical services of the territory.
