DESCRIPTION:Digitalisation is often described as an enabler of sustainabil
 ity transitions\, though concerns about rebound effects remain. To truly s
 upport these transitions\, however\, it must not only foster sustainabilit
 y elsewhere but also embody it within its own development. This talk explo
 res the future footprint of digital infrastructures\, focusing on data cen
 tres at the global scale. On the energy side\, it projects demand\, associ
 ated greenhouse gas emissions\, and the role of renewable energy. On the m
 aterial side\, it examines resource requirements and circular economy stra
 tegies under scenarios driven by different mechanisms. It models how digit
 alisation may evolve and what this could mean for energy systems\, resourc
 e use\, and climate outcomes. The purpose is not to predict the future\, b
 ut to prepare for what it may become and to inform strategies.\nSpeakers:\
