“Wait! What?” When the Sustainability Team Starts to Measure the Emissions [...]
summary
Many mainstream cloud apps and AI features publish no carbon data, leaving sustainability teams unable to measure cloud emissions for scope 3. Projects require digging into co‑locators, storage hours, user sessions, device and network energy, and local grid carbon intensity to estimate impact. Notion lacks public sustainability reporting while Atlassian publishes SBTi commitments. Cloud Sustainability Watch is a nonprofit directory and the proposal includes a six‑to‑nine‑month coalition, client marketing kits, and a campaign to make green AI seatbelts visible.
