    NVIDIA just hit the $5 trillion milestone: who's paying the price? | Introducing SystemShift

    We’re sharing a bonus episode from Greenpeace's Systemshift. This episode digs into the hidden environmental and social costs behind the global race to build faster, smarter AI. 

    As Nvidia hits a $5 trillion market cap, communities in East Asia are bearing with the hidden consequences. Systemshift's host Joycelyn Longdon speaks with Katrin Wu from Greenpeace East Asia to uncover how AI supply chain is driving pollution, health risks, and rising emissions, in the attempt of catching up with increasing global energy demands.


    We hear from Sunryul Kim, a South Korean campaigner who filed a lawsuit against LNG Power Plants being built in his community and Lena Chang a campaigner from Taiwan, who tells us about the impact that the tech industry is having in her homeland.


    Even as the AI boom brings new pressures and environmental risks to communities in East Asia, there is hope. We can demand real power shifts and redistribution, to ensure those currently paying the unseen price are funded for a truly just transition.
