This Climate Week 2025 event marked the public introduction of BEA’s work to build political alignment on AI across frontline communities, national green groups, and philanthropy. This conversation emerged from a sense of urgency and possibility: generative AI has sparked widespread excitement among some, but also raised real questions about who gets to shape these systems, who benefits, who’s left out, and how power is being redistributed. This dialogue feeds into the larger work that BEA is leading across the sectors to build shared understanding of how AI is being used, develop aligned values and strategies, and craft a collective narrative around its role in environmental work and philanthropy.
