Greenpeace protests NVIDIA keynote over AI and emissions

Greenpeace Germany activists protested during NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang’s keynote at NVIDIA GTC Conference, projecting a banner message and urging NVIDIA to address its climate and human-rights impacts.

• Greenpeace said the protest targeted NVIDIA’s AI expansion, its outsourced chip manufacturing powered by fossil fuels, and the environmental effects of data-center growth and rising electricity bills.
• Greenpeace International called on NVIDIA to invest in renewable energy capacity, extend its 100% renewable energy target across its entire manufacturing supply chain by 2030, and implement an independent audit of distributors, subsidiaries, and third-party vendors.
• The article also cites Greenpeace’s prior analyses on NVIDIA emissions and manufacturing burdens in East Asia, especially South Korea and Taiwan; contact details for Greenpeace International are included.
