Digital is hailed as one tool to deliver on every one of the UN Sustainable Development Goals, yet with the growth of the sector comes a huge material and energy cost. Data centres are in the privileged position of being to analyse and understand what data generation, storage and transfer costs society and give advice on how to minimise negative impact. This presentation will outline industry moving towards circular supply chains, the impact on infrastructure, buildings and wider communities, and what can stand it the way.
