What is Climate Week?
Climate Week NYC is one of the world’s largest climate action events, bringing together the most senior international leaders from business, tech, politics, academia, and civil society to accelerate the transition to a more sustainable future.
The theme of this year’s event is: “It’s Time”. While people and businesses are increasingly aware of the imperative to address climate change, as the theme suggests, it’s time to go faster. It’s time to break down barriers, to accelerate scalable innovation, and to deploy resilient and efficient infrastructure equipped to usher in the next era of transformation.
It’s time for us all to act. And that’s why, for the first time ever, Equinix is sponsoring and speaking at Climate Week in 2024.
The New Industrial Revolution: building green digital infrastructure in the AI era
Digital infrastructure and data centers are a key enabler of sustainable business transformation. With AI and public demand for data expected to skyrocket in the coming years, the responsibility is on builders of digital infrastructure to drive down our carbon footprint.
As a part of our sponsorship of Climate Week 2024, Christopher Wellise, Equinix’s VP of Sustainability, will be featured on a panel in an exclusive Hub Live session; The New Industrial Revolution: Building Green Digital Infrastructure in the AI era.
During this session, we will discuss and share insights from our business around how digital infrastructure is coping with increasing power demand, how AI is pushing the boundaries for energy efficient data centers, and the role of innovation in the modernization and retrofit of older facilities.
