• A New Legislative Framework fit for circular economy and the digital transition

• ECOS to expand its work on the environmental impacts of data centres

  Digital technology contributes significantly to global carbon emissions and electricity consumption. To address this, infrastructure underpinning the digital transition – like data centres – must be developed and used responsibly, transparently, and with respect to our limited resources. Yet despite the urgent need, the European Union lacks coherent policies on energy and sustainability challenges arising from digital technologies. ECOS is working to change this in a new collaboration with Open Future, funded by the Green Screen Catalyst Fund.
