Ensuring AI infrastructure respects human rights is essential.

Join us for our next AI and Human Rights session on 8 October on 9 a.m. EDT / 3 p.m. CEST / 6:30 p.m. IST as we explore how businesses and investors can finance and deploy AI energy infrastructure in line with the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (UNGPs). The session will examine how companies can identify and address human rights risks, engage meaningfully with affected stakeholders, protect community land and resource rights and help ensure the benefits of the AI and clean energy transitions are shared equitably.

Live translation will be available in French, Spanish and Portuguese.
