Many locations of the main data centers could be at risk of climate change




  • Report notes 52% of the 100 best data centers centers have a high or very high risk of climate change
  • 100% of the APAC and the Middle East centers would be with a high/very high risk by 2040
  • Many are also found in areas of high water stress

New Maplecroft research has confirmed the common suspicion: data centers are closely linked to global warming, with their high energy and the effects of the demand for natural resources, while at risk of climate change.

More than half of the 100 data centers in the world already have a high or very high risk due to the increase in temperature, and cooling demands will increase significantly, which finally leads to greater use of energy and water.
