In this limited series from The New York Times, hear urgent and frank conversations about the growing threat of climate change with top world leaders, business leaders and policymakers recorded live at the annual Climate Forward conference in New York City.
At the Climate Forward live event, Melanie Nakagawa and Kate Brandt, the chief sustainability officers at Microsoft and Google, discussed how the boom in artificial intelligence was affecting their companies’ goals to achieve net-zero emissions or better by 2030.
The industry is building out data centers at a breakneck pace, which has led to a rise in technology companies’ emissions in recent years. What will it take to power the A.I. revolution without further fueling the climate crisis? Nakagawa and Brandt discuss their companies’ investments in nuclear energy, carbon capture and other clean energy technologies.
