Reconcile the European Data Strategy with Carbon Neutrality Objectives
summary
Connects the European Data Strategy with the Carbon Neutrality Objectives of the Green Deal by quantifying the nexus: roughly 40 zettabytes of data today (about 1.7 MB/s per person), 31 billion IoT devices with 127 added per second, ICT at ~3% of CO2 (comparable to aviation), data centers using ~1.4% of electricity and ICT ~7% rising to 13% by 2030. Proposes concrete fixes: reduce energy of chips and software, minimize data movement via edge/fog architecture, push standards like the EU data center code of conduct and ITU environmental-efficiency work.
