WHO PAYS FOR POWER? Indigenous Sovereignty, Data Centers & the New Energy Sacrifice Zones
Join 7 Directions of Service during Climate Week NYC for an Indigenous-led conversation examining the hidden connections between the rapid growth of data centers and AI, increasing electricity demand, fossil fuel infrastructure, water consumption, land acquisition, and threats to Indigenous and frontline communities.
Climate Week NYC 2026 | New York City
