We curate most relevant posts about Sustainability & Green ICT on LinkedIn and regularly share key takeaways.
This edition examines the critical intersection of advanced technology and environmental sustainability, with a primary focus on the rising energy demands of artificial intelligence and data centres. Industry experts advocate for "green coding" and carbon-aware computing, emphasizing that efficient software design can significantly reduce an organisation's carbon footprint while improving operational performance. Strategic frameworks like the Software Carbon Intensity (SCI) specification are introduced to provide a standardised way for developers to measure and mitigate emissions. The collection also highlights innovative infrastructure solutions, such as liquid cooling systems and energy-positive data centres, to address the physical impact of the digital boom. Furthermore, the texts discuss the evolving regulatory landscape, noting that sustainable IT is shifting from a moral choice to a mandatory business requirement. Ultimately, the contributors suggest that transparent reporting and disciplined design are essential for ensuring that technological growth does not come at the expense of planetary health.
