Forty mayors, including Montreal’s, sign global pact to work toward more sustainable data centres

Forty mayors, including Montreal's, have committed to a global pact aimed at making data centers more sustainable. This agreement focuses on reducing the negative impacts that data centers have on cities' natural resources, energy prices, and climate targets. It’s a significant move as data centers are notorious for high energy consumption and environmental footprints, so this collaborative effort could lead to substantial improvements in urban sustainability and climate change mitigation. The pact underscores a growing recognition of the need for greener technology infrastructure.
