Communities are campaigning against the arrival of AI-powered data centres that they say bring negative environmental impacts.

Renewables have been adding to rather than replacing coal power capacity. A mandatory green power consumption policy could change this.

The rise of artificial intelligence (AI) and other technologies has driven the 'surging' growth of data centres in China, with associated increases in energy demand and emissions.

Global power-sector emissions hit an 'all-time high' in 2024, despite solar and wind power continuing to grow at record speed, according to analysis from thinktank Ember.
