Launch of AI Environmental Transparency Initiative
UN Secretary-General António Guterres calls on AI companies to disclose water, carbon, and land use impacts and commit to 100% renewable energy by 2030, during London Climate Action Week.
The UN secretary-general demands AI companies disclose the full environmental footprint of their data centres and commit to 100% renewable power by 2030, as projections show energy use surpassing all but five countries and water demand equal to 1.3 billion people’s basic needs.
The UN launched the AI Environmental Transparency Initiative, revealing projections that data centres could consume water for 1.3 billion people and electricity exceeding most nations by 2030. Guterres urged a shift to renewables and full disclosure of environmental costs.
