This session aims to raise the awareness of the International Data Center leaders, who must stop the status quo of taking, using, and discarding resources that we don’t need when building and operating data centers. Together, we must rise up to the global challenge of upcycling waste to innovate, using technology and design thinking processes and the UN Sustainable Development Goals to create circularity. The global data center sector can lead the way in reducing environmental degradation, improving people’s lives, and making a net positive impact to the environment, society, and climate.
