CREDIT: CHIP SOMODEVILLA VIA GETTY IMAGES centre companies around the world are seeking to lower their emissions whilst also innovating at the same rate.
So far, Trump has not been prioritising sustainability, having pulled the US out of several global climate agreements. However, it remains essential for the global data centre industry to find new ways to keep emissions down to avoid putting pressure on the grid.
Simon Stiell, Executive Secretary of UN Climate Change, said:“ The global clean energy boom – worth US $ 2tn last year alone and rising fast – is the economic growth deal of the decade.“ Embracing it will mean massive profits, millions of manufacturing jobs and clean air.
“ Ignoring it only sends all that vast wealth to competitor economies, while climate disasters like droughts, wildfires and superstorms keep getting worse, destroying property and businesses, hitting nation-wide food production, and driving economywide price inflation.”
