About Event
As AI and data-centre infrastructure expands across Southern Brazil, this session will explore how the region can reduce emissions and environmental impacts before they become locked in, while using high-integrity carbon dioxide removal (CDR) only for residual emissions.
The discussion will connect digital infrastructure, air quality, forests, restoration, biodiversity, water and local communities, with a focus on practical pathways for a just and climate-resilient transition.
Panelists:
