Webinar: Unpacking the Impacts of Data Center
By Lauren Goldberg, Executive Director
Data center expansion presents a serious threat to the Columbia River and regional clean energy goals. Watch Columbia Riverkeeper’s recent webinar, “Unpacking the Impacts of Data Centers,” as panelists from Yakama Nation, Oregon Citizens Utility Board (CUB), and Columbia Riverkeeper discuss the impacts of data centers and policy actions to advance climate goals, environmental justice, and salmon recovery.
A special thank you to our guest speakers, Environmental Coordinator Kate Valdez with the Confederated Tribes and Bands of the Yakama Nation and Equity Analyst & Advocate Sarah Wochele with Oregon Citizens’ Utility Board.
Here are three ways to get involved:

Columbia Riverkeeper is working to address the serious threats that data centers pose to the Columbia, Tribes and communities that rely on it, and our climate. We can’t do this critical work without our partners and people like you.
