Overview
This webinar explores the often-overlooked environmental impact of digital data, delving into the concept of the data carbon footprint and its implications for sustainability.
As data storage and processing account for 2.5%-3.7% of global greenhouse gas emissions – surpassing even the aviation industry – understanding and mitigating digital carbon is crucial.
This discussion also examines the role of AI and its data-driven methodologies in amplifying these environmental challenges.
Tom introduces key problem areas, such as “dark data” and storage inefficiencies, and discusses actionable strategies, including the Data Carbon Scorecard, to help you and your organisations manage your data’s environmental footprint.
Rachel then:
- Discusses how this eye-opening information impacts records management professionals.
- Explains how you can use ‘data sustainability’ as a message to enhance your voice when it comes to promoting the importance of data and information lifecycle management to your companies and organisations.
- Explores the records management tools available and look at the skills framework needed to deploy them.
By fostering a responsible data and AI approach, we can support a global shift toward digital decarbonisation, aligning with net-zero goals.
