Data centers and cloud solutions, while essential for data storage and processing, consume a lot of energy, refrigerants, and water for cooling, leading to significant environmental impact and greenhouse gas emissions. Furthermore, climate change poses risks to data centers, necessitating site-specific adaptation measures. Greening data centers not only supports climate change mitigation and adaptation but also contributes to decarbonizing a country's economy and meeting broader sustainability goals.
