s we look out into a
A future that appears to have more variables by the minute , making any kind of prediction is hard . However , there are two things that seem pretty certain . First , we will have to do more to combat climate change and second , we will have to change the way we do – and support – business because of the increasing impact of Artificial Intelligence ( AI ).
The common thread between these two apparently divergent , but pressing , priorities is the unsung hero of our increasingly digital world : the data centre .
2024 TRENDS AND PREDICTIONS : RES , AI , DATA CENTRES AND BEYOND
The true role of data centres in our digital future is becoming apparent , as environmental and commercial demands increase . Steven Carlini , Vice President of Innovation and Data Center for Schneider Electric ’ s Secure Power division , explores the new trends set to impact the sector in 2024 and beyond .
Data centres will not only be critical in supporting the digital tools and services that will allow us to implement the technologies to combat climate change in manufacturing , transportation , buildings and power generation industries , they will also be the foundation on which the next course of the digital economy will be built , facilitating the adoption of AI in operations and service offerings .

COP pledges
Few could have failed to notice the noise and heat ( no pun intended ) generated from the recent COP28 summit .
Many have expressed dismay that this is the 28th such conference on something that should have been comprehensively addressed by now , but I digress .
