Jensen Huang has failed to put climate responsibility at the heart of the company&#8217;s growth strategy, to slow down the unchecked expansion of data centres or to prevent its chips from being deployed in unethical applications like automated warfare. Interim CEO Colette Kress and whoever leads Nvidia in the long term must make a clear commitment to genuine decarbonisation and renewable energy investment, and ensure its technology respects human rights.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/international\/story\/86131\/green-ai-or-greenwashing-why-nvidia-cant-compute-its-way-out-of-the-climate-crisis\/\">Greenpeace East Asia<\/a> have spent the past two years seeking dialogue with Nvidia, especially after <a href=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/international\/press-release\/86602\/greenpeace-disrupts-nvidia-ceo-keynote-speech-berlin-gtc-conference\/\">Jensen Huang publicly promised to meet with Greenpeace<\/a>. To date, Nvidia has not fulfilled that promise. Greenpeace remains committed to engaging directly with any Nvidia CEO regarding emissions and ethical concerns.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Greenpeace International demands that Nvidia serves the public interest by investing substantially in additional renewable energy capacity. The organisation also calls on the company to extend its 100% renewable energy target beyond its own corporate operations to cover its entire manufacturing supply chain by 2030, including suppliers in key production regions in East Asia.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">ENDS<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Contacts:&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Guillaumine Lickel, Deputy Communications Lead , Greenpeace International, +33 6-73-89-48-90 (EMEA), <a href=\"mailto:glickel@greenpeace.org\">glickel@greenpeace.org<\/a><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Greenpeace International Press Desk, +31 (0)20 718 2470 (available 24 hours), <a href=\"mailto:pressdesk.int@greenpeace.org\">pressdesk.int@greenpeace.org<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the wake of the resignation of Nvidia\u2019s CEO, Jensen Huang, Greenpeace International reiterates the need to regulate AI and Big Tech.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":18,"featured_media":86603,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_planet4_optimize_post_is_variant":false,"_planet4_optimize_experiment_name":"","_planet4_optimize_variant_name":"","ep_exclude_from_search":false,"p4_og_title":"","p4_og_description":"","p4_og_image":"","p4_og_image_id":"","p4_seo_canonical_url":"","p4_seo_meta_title":"","p4_seo_meta_description":"","p4_campaign_name":"Big Tech","p4_local_project":"Break free from Big Tech","p4_basket_name":"Climate &amp; Energy","p4_department":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[69,73],"tags":[89],"p4-page-type":[98],"class_list":["post-87126","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-energy","category-social-and-economic-systems","tag-climate","p4-page-type-press-release"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/international\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/87126","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/international\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/international\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/international\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/18"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/international\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=87126"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/international\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/87126\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":87136,"href":"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/international\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/87126\/revisions\/87136"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/international\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/86603"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/international\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=87126"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/international\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=87126"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/international\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=87126"},{"taxonomy":"p4-page-type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/international\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/p4-page-type?post=87126"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
