Data Center Governance: From Transparency to Power
Artificial intelligence (AI) is accelerating rapidly and with it, the expansion of resource-intensive data centers. Governments are increasingly faced with complex decisions around siting, permitting, infrastructure investment, and long-term impacts on communities and ecosystems.
Too often, these decisions are made before their full economic, environmental, and social implications are understood.
Hosted jointly by Open Government Partnership and NatureFinance, this webinar brings together government officials, civil society leaders, and international experts to explore how data center governance can better serve the public interest.
Participants will gain insights into:
- The fiscal, environmental, and social trade-offs shaping government decisions
- Emerging international frameworks, including UNEP guidance and TNFD approaches
- Real-world case examples
- Practical tools to strengthen transparency, accountability, and infrastructure governance
Join OGP and NatureFinance in this webinar to explore how transparency can move beyond disclosure toward shaping outcomes in the public interest.
