In the last year, digital rights funders have begun to invest in research specifically looking at the intersection of climate justice and key digital rights issues. This research highlighted several areas where more conversation and collaboration would be helpful, such as climate misinformation, open practices and knowledge commons around climate, policy and regulation, among others.
We are interested in holding a conversation with attendees about some of these issues, and some of the hidden or less discussed consequences of these infrastructures beyond carbon. We are curious how small companies, start-ups and founders attending B+B are approaching these questions of climate-neutral or climate-supportive infrastructures, what tools and allies they have found as they navigated this challenging landscape.
Digital rights funders are looking for guidance from activists, civil society and for-profit companies that seek to find a solution for this increasingly urgent problem space. We are working with foundations and actors who are looking to put their resources into the most impactful and important initiatives working on these problems. The session is looking for answers to the following questions: What does sustainable internet mean to you? 2. How are you intervening and why did you choose this approach? 3. What is it that you need?
