Summary:
UN Secretary-General António Guterres has called on major tech firms to commit to building renewable-powered data centers by 2030. With data center growth increasing carbon emissions, Guterres emphasized solar, wind, and clean power as the sustainable path forward.
Why It Matters:
Data centers are among the fastest-growing energy consumers globally. A tech-sector pivot to renewables could significantly reduce emissions and set environmental standards across industries. Government policy and corporate responsibility both play key roles.
