Climate Justice, AI, and Technology
Canada, like the rest of the world, faces a crisis of sustainable technology and economic transition. As governments develop policy responses, they are in urgent need of empirically informed support from the academic community to integrate leading global scholarship and policy expertise within domestic decision making.
Climate Essay Series
The Climate & Tech essay series examines a range of issues at the intersection of climate justice and technology. Written by a diverse group of experts, including academics, practitioners, and advocates involved in teaching, researching, and working at the intersection of digitally mediated life and climate crisis, the essays aim to bridge research and policy. The series approaches the topic from three thematic angles:
Climate Justice and Digital Media: will explore how digital platforms, like social media and online reporting, shape climate journalism and storytelling;
The Climate Impacts of Digital Media and its Infrastructures: will examine how digital technologies and their infrastructures–from AI, to data centres and batteries, affects the environment and contributes to climate change;
Using Digital Tools and Environmental Data for Climate Justice: will look at how digital technologies and environmental data is being used to tackle issues of environmental and climate justice.
