Why Sustainable Computing?
Sustainable computing is becoming increasingly crucial in our modern world due to the ever-growing demand for computational power and the associated environmental impacts. Data centers, which are the backbone of today's digital economy, consume vast amounts of energy, contributing significantly to global carbon emissions. According to a report by Nature, data centers worldwide consume about 1% of the global electricity demand, and this number is projected to grow as digital transformation continues. By adopting sustainable computing practices, we can mitigate the environmental footprint of these facilities, thereby contributing to the broader goals of reducing greenhouse gas emissions and combating climate change.
Moreover, sustainable computing is not only an environmental necessity but also an economic imperative. Energy-efficient technologies and practices can lead to substantial cost savings for organizations. For instance, integrating renewable energy sources such as solar and wind into data center operations can reduce dependency on fossil fuels, lower energy costs, and enhance energy security. Additionally, innovations in hardware design and energy management, such as the use of advanced microgrids and AI-driven optimization, can improve the efficiency and reliability of computing systems. As highlighted by researchers, sustainable computing practices can also drive technological advancements, creating new opportunities for innovation and economic growth in the green technology sector.
In conclusion, sustainable computing is essential for ensuring that the growth of our digital infrastructure aligns with environmental sustainability goals. By reducing energy consumption and leveraging renewable energy, we can minimize the ecological impact of data centers and other computing facilities. This not only helps in addressing climate change but also supports the economic viability of organizations by lowering operational costs and fostering technological innovation. Sustainable computing is a pivotal step towards a more resilient and sustainable digital future.
About The Summit?
The summit will focus on key topics such as climate change, clean energy technologies, AI's environmental impact, and green investment. It will explore the latest advances in these areas and how they can contribute to environmental protection, energy transformation, and sustainable production and consumption patterns. Through a series of roundtable discussions, results releases, and expert presentations, we are dedicating ourselves to analyzing the environmental impacts of AI and investigating how green financial innovation can promote sustainable development.

Join us on our mission to build a world where artificial intelligence is not just intelligent, but also sustainable.
The "Global AI Environmental Impact" white paper proposes the Green AI Index, a set of criteria designed to evaluate the environmental effects of artificial intelligence technologies. This index assesses factors such as energy consumption, carbon footprint, resource utilization, and overall sustainability practices associated with the development, deployment, and operation of AI systems. The goal is to provide insights and guidance on how AI can be developed and used in an environmentally responsible manner, promoting efficiency improvements and reducing environmental impact. Additionally, the paper offers a comprehensive analysis of related policies.
We sincerely invite you to join this significant annual event, working alongside global thought leaders to contribute ideas for the future of AI and sustainability. The Green AI Institute is rooted in the present, with a vision for the future. It focuses on AI and sustainability cooperation while looking globally. By building a dynamic platform for cross-cultural discussions, the institute aims to unite young people, politicians, business leaders, and academics to jointly address climate change and create a sustainable global community.
