Setting a 'Tech Agenda' for Climate Week

The Tech Policy Press Podcast

​From September 21–28, New York City will host Climate Week. Leaders from business, politics, academia, and civil society will gather to share ideas and develop strategies to address the climate crisis.

​The tech industry intersects with climate concerns in a number of ways, not least of which is through its own growing demand for natural resources and energy, particularly to power data centers. What should a “tech agenda” for Climate Week include? What are the most important issues that need attention, and how should challenges and opportunities be framed?

​Last week, Tech Policy Press hosted a live recording of The Tech Policy Press Podcast to get at these questions and more. Justin Hendrix was joined by three expert guests:

• ​Alix Dunn, founder and CEO of The Maybe
• ​Tamara Kneese, director of Data & Society's Climate, Technology, and Justice Program
• ​Holly Alpine, co-Founder of the Enabled Emissions Campaign
