As part of Climate Week NYC, Climate Desk Live brings together journalists, elected officials, researchers, and community advocates to examine the systems shaping our climate future and who gets to decide what comes next. This year’s program explores the collision of technology, energy, and democracy: the rapid growth of AI data centers and their toll on Indigenous communities, communities of color, and rural areas;the lasting footprint of decades of US nuclear weapons production;and what it will take for everyday citizens to build power and shape real solutions when government and industry fall short.
