Join Women in Cleantech & Sustainability NYC and getWITit for a discussion that will explore how sustainability leaders are leveraging AI for climate wins like grid optimization and renewable forecasting, while tackling AI's own challenges, such as data center energy demands and emissions. Some questions explored by this discussion include: • Where is AI already delivering measurable climate benefits? • How do we account for the energy and carbon footprint of AI itself? • What governance, standards, or procurement choices can climate‑focused organizations make to ensure they are using “climate‑safe AI”? Featured Speakers: • Maria João Sousa - Executive Director at Climate Change AI • Mandy DeRoche - Director of Emerging Issues, Clean Energy Program at Earthjustice • Porsha Seechung, MS - Director, Academic Relations at Green Project Management • Moderated by Jennifer Owens, Co-host at Engaging ESG and Managing Principal at Jennwork Schedule: • 9:00 am — Doors Open/Networking • 9:30 am — Discussion • 10:15 am — Networking Coffee & pastries served!
