Reconcile the European Data Strategy with Carbon Neutrality Objectives
summary
European policy aligns the Data Strategy with the Green Deal by treating data, computing and energy as a single nexus and setting carbon neutrality by 2050 as a constraint. Data volume already hits 40 zettabytes with about 1.7 MB/s per person, 14 billion mobiles and 31 billion IoT devices; ICT emits roughly 2–3% of CO2 and uses ~7% of global electricity with data centers at ~1.4% and rising. Concrete fixes: lower chip and server energy via new architectures and software, cut data movement with edge and fog, certify green ICT and extend the successful EU data center code of conduct.
