Rapid expansion of artificial intelligence (AI) and the surging energy demands of data infrastructure have been pushing up carbon emissions from the tech sector globally.
This is according to a new report released today by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) and the World Benchmarking Alliance (WBA).
The Greening Digital Companies 2025 report, which analyzes data from 200 of the world’s leading digital companies, reveals that energy consumption and emissions have been rising sharply, despite increasing commitments to climate goals.
