Creating a Vision for a Sustainable Future

Technology innovates at giddying speed every year, but 2020 proved to be an innovation leap year. It gave the world a new reason to take sustainability seriously. For much of 2020, planes were grounded and both international and domestic travel was curtailed. As a result, our carbon emissions dropped by an estimated 6.4%. This was significant but it is astonishing that even in a year when the world stood still, it’s not enough to meet climate-change prevention targets. It is estimated that data centres currently use around 1% of all electricity generated globally.

This is forecast to increase to over 8% by 2030. Some models predict that 20% of the global electricity production could be consumed by the ICT ecosystem by the mid-2030 since networks, personal devices and televisions are included.

We must look to technology for answers, and NTT DATA is ready to answer the call.
