If you prefer listening, check out our podcast summarizing the most relevant insights from Sustainability & Green ICT CW 44/ 45:
AI sustainability
AI growth is colliding with power and water limits, turning energy availability into a key constraint for future innovation
Thought leaders push for AI that is both responsible and sustainable, with clear visibility on emissions and energy mix across the full model lifecycle
New frameworks and principles call for carbon-aware design, better metrics and AI systems that actively support climate goals
Infrastructure
Data centers and grids are treated as the critical backbone, with cooling, siting and grid integration now central to every AI and cloud discussion
Providers highlight advanced thermal management, modular designs and regional green AI hubs to stretch limited power and land resources
European debates connect data centers, renewables and hydrogen, framing infrastructure planning as a single integrated energy system question
Green Software
Green software moves into the spotlight, with efficient code and architectures seen as a direct lever to cut emissions while improving performance
New tools translate digital efficiency into concrete optimisation tasks, making sustainable development more operational for teams
Events and awards around green software and microelectronics show a maturing discipline that spans hardware and software quality
Policy and Markets
Reports on data center dominance and market concentration spark calls for updated regulation and more balanced digital infrastructure strategies
Governments and expert groups publish guidance on sustainable AI and digital practices, giving organisations clearer standards to align with
Climate leaders link tech innovation to rapid decarbonisation, demanding that digitalisation plans address Scope 3 emissions and fossil fuel exposure
Ecosystem and People
Sector stories, from automotive to microelectronics, show Green ICT reshaping value chains rather than sitting as a side topic in IT
Collaborations across regions and disciplines combine AI, green infrastructure and software into shared programmes instead of isolated pilots
Personal narratives and community initiatives underline that sustainable ICT progress depends on cultural change and distributed leadership, not only on new technology
