Traditional climate action models often struggle with capturing intricate spatial-temporal dependencies and integrating multi-modal data, resulting in limited scalability and real-world applicability.MethodsTo address these challenges, we propose a novel framework that integrates the Dynamic Climate Graph Network (DCGN) with the Adaptive Climate Action Strategy (ACAS). DCGN utilizes graph-based learning to model spatial dependencies and temporal feature extraction to analyze evolving climate patterns. Multi-modal data fusion is employed to integrate meteorological, socio-economic, and geospatial information. ACAS builds upon DCGN’s predictive outputs by applying attention mechanisms and optimization under domain-specific constraints to prioritize high-impact regions and variables.ResultsEmpirical results demonstrate that the proposed framework consistently outperforms several state-of-the-art baselines across multiple benchmark datasets, achieving an average improvement of over 2.5% in F1 Score and AUC. These outcomes highlight the robustness, generalizability, and real-world applicability of our approach.ConclusionBy linking advanced machine learning techniques with interpretable and actionable climate policy insights, the integrated DCGN–ACAS framework provides a scalable and effective tool for climate risk assessment and low-carbon transition strategies. The proposed method offers promising implications for sustainable urban planning, environmental governance, and adaptive climate intervention.
