Green IT Strategies: Innovating for a Sustainable Digital Future

This report explores the main areas of intervention of Green IT, such as the mapping of carbon emissions throughout the value chain, the virtualization of physical resources, the adoption of cloud computing services, and the design of green data centers that include sustainability criteria. Risks and consequences associated with greater digitalization are also identified, such as the rebound effect and the growth in the volume of data stored, even those without real use (“dark data”), as well as the ambivalent role of emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence and blockchain, whose potential to generate greater efficiency and lower environmental impact coexists with a high demand for energy and resources.
