      In this bonus episode of the Code Green podcast, team members Dona, Meredith & Tammanna reflect on the season. They discuss the project's origins & their experiences of curating the podcast & newsletter. Their key takeaways include the need for nuance in discussions about AI's environmental impact, & questioning the focus on hyper-growth & efficiency. They emphasise the importance of situated understanding, participatory methods, & addressing the underexplored lens of abandoned technology infrastructure. Looking ahead, they express interest in exploring critical minerals & AI in India, & the intersection of AI & conservation.SpeakersDona Mathew is a lawyer with experience in public policy research & legislative drafting. At Digital Futures Lab, her work focuses on the ethical dimensions of data & AI, particularly at the nexus of climate action & legal institutions. She has been part of DFL’s AI & Climate Futures in Asia work with The Rockefeller Foundation. Since 2024, she has been leading research & coordinating efforts for the Code Green series.Meredith Stinger is a qualitative researcher & curator. As a consultant with Quicksand, she has worked on projects exploring the social dimensions of technology design & implementation. As a 2023 Fulbright-Nehru Student Research Fellow, she conducted ten months of ethnographic fieldwork in India, examining the social & political implications of the Aadhaar digital identity system. Her research has focused on exploring the materiality of digital systems & what these practices reveal about power, access & belonging in the digital age. She is particularly interested in the intersection between official technology policy discourse & lived experiences, focusing on how communities adapt to & navigate emerging digital systems.Tammanna Aurora is a lawyer, researcher, & curator interested in spaces where questions of art, law, policy, climate, & technology meet. Her work explores the role of qualitative data, stories, & lived experience in decision-making within formal legal & scientific frameworks. She currently works on When The Earth Testifies with Agami, leads a fellowship for law students called SOCH, & is building temp.mag, an interdisciplinary research + media studio.

      09: Funding & Framing Asia’s Climate Futures
      Jun 2 2025
      Across this series, we’ve traced the many emergent tensions between AI as both a potential solution and barrier to addressing the world’s most urgent climate and environmental dilemmas. In this final episode, Hanyuan ‘Karen’ Wang and Luis Felipe R. Murrillo discuss the complex arena of climate finance - highlighting these key tensions and potential pathways forward. Hanyuan discusses the need for tools for businesses to navigate the complex climate policy landscape, and the role of private-sector involvement. Luis highlights the difficulties of collecting quality climate data, the importance of data stewardship in bridging the gaps between experts and community needs, and the potential of ‘commoning’ as a way to envision alternate, sustainable frameworks and funding models. SpeakersHanyuan ‘Karen’ WangCEO and Founder, ClimindClimind is a platform that delivers actionable climate data infrastructure through AI technologies to facilitate mitigation and adaptation solutions. Hanyuan (Karen) Wang is the first Chinese female to be selected as a Young Leader for the SDGs recognized by the United Nations. Additionally, she serves on the board of NGOs globally, including being the youngest Board of Directors for the Foundation for the Museum of the United Nations - UN Live. She is also on the Advisory Board Members of AI Hong Kong. Karen was a research assistant at Imperial College London's Centre for Climate Finance and Investment (CCFI), where her work centers on voluntary carbon markets, climate risks, and nature-based solutions with a particular focus on the Asian Market . She was named to Forbes' 30 Under 30. She went to Hong Kong Baptist University, Imperial College London, and is a Schwarzman Scholar from Tsinghua University.Luis Felipe (LF) R. MurilloAssistant Professor of Anthropology at University of Notre DameLuis Felipe R. Murillo’s work is primarily dedicated to the study of the intersections between computing and politics from an anthropological perspective. Based on long-term, collaborative ethnographic research, his research explores questions of commoning and anti-commoning in science and technology. Across several projects spanning hacker networks in the Pacific Rim to open technology development at CERN, LF's work investigates how underground computing collectives design and implement digital technologies in response to pressing social, political, and environmental issues. He is the author of Common Circuits: Hacking Alternative Political Futures recently published by Stanford University Press.You can read the transcript for this episode ⁠here.Show NotesSir Jim SkeaOslo Energy ForumJapan 2011 DisasterNew Expert Eyes Over Fukushima: Open Source Responses to the 3/11 Disaster in Japan Community Office Navigating the New Arctic (NNA)Camera Traps in Code Green Call of the W(AI)ldSingapore Carbon TaxSaudi Green InitiativeHKU Jockey Club Enterprise Sustainability Global Research InstituteICLR 2025illuminem ESG trackerISSB's new standardSustainability and Climate Risk by GARP Hong Kong Science & Technology ParkHong Kong ESG standards and IndexSEEKCommonsCheck out the Code Green glossary for more terms.This podcast series is accompanied by a monthly newsletter - sign up for updates ⁠⁠here⁠⁠.

      08: Locating Sust(AI)nability in the Smart City
      May 1 2025
      Amidst rapid urbanisation, Asia’s urban centres are increasingly turning to smart solutions as they grapple with worsening air pollution, rising emissions, and erratic weather patterns. What role can data and AI play in shaping more sustainable urban futures? In this episode, ChengHe Guan and Raj Cherubal discuss the future of digital urban transformation, with a focus on smart and sustainable city initiatives in China and India. ChengHe explores how urban sensing techniques and fine-grained data analysis can shed light on pathways to more responsible and inclusive cityscapes. Raj draws on his experience as former CEO of India’s flagship Smart City project in Chennai, revealing the ground-level complexities at the intersection of city systems and climate resilience, as well as the potentials of AI and digital tools for institutional capacity and urban planning. Together, they emphasise that while data and AI are potentially valuable tools, they must be guided by thoughtful policy and inclusive design. They call for the consideration of societal behaviour in planning, stronger global partnerships and cross-disciplinary knowledge sharing to avoid redundant efforts and co-create cities that are equitable, safe, and accessible for all.You can read the transcript for this episode ⁠here.SpeakersChengHe GuanDirector of the Shanghai Key Laboratory of Urban Design and Urban Science, Assistant Professor of Urban Science and Policy, NYU Shanghai; Global Network Assistant Professor, Wagner Graduate School of Public Service, NYU ChengHe Guan is an Assistant Professor of Urban Science and Policy at NYU Shanghai, Global Network Assistant Professor, and PhD Advisor at NYU Wagner and is the founding co-director of the Shanghai Key Laboratory of Urban Design and Urban Science.
