Tuesday, May 19th: JUST TECH.
THE FUTURE OF ENERGY, TECHNOLOGY, AND FINANCE
Join Alternatives for Community and Environment ACE and One Square World for a convening confronting environmental justice challenges in the realms of energy, technology, and finance. AI and data centers are driving an unprecedented surge in energy demand, attracting massive investment and subsidies, and reinforcing existing power relationships. We are bringing together a diverse group of stakeholders including community organizations and advocates, government, philanthropy, the private sector to build shared knowledge and understanding and imagine solutions grounded in a just transition framework.

A just transition means ensuring that financial flow and new energy and technology infrastructure does not replicate historical patterns of exploitation, displacement, and pollution, but instead actively advances environmental justice. A just transition centers the leadership of frontline communities, prioritizes equitable access to decision making and resources, and supports sustainable livelihoods and community well-being. This convening is a part of a series that seeks to move beyond critique toward collective action by nurturing a cross-sector network capable of shaping neighborhood centered policies, investments, and technological development.
