The GreenOps Imperative

According to climate science, to avoid the most catastrophic impacts of climate change we must limit global temperature rise to 1.5°C and reach net-zero no later than 2050. Global emissions must reduce by 7.6% every year between 2020 and 2030.

🌡️

The Challenge

Without ambitious action, we will breach 1.5°C within this decade. Net-zero will only be possible with emissions reductions aligned to climate science. The window for meaningful action is closing rapidly.

Cloud Carbon Impact

ChatGPT consumed ~1,287 MWh monthly in Jan 2023. Scrolling TikTok for 1 minute emits ~4.93g CO₂e. With 5.16B internet users, the collective digital carbon footprint is massive and growing.

The Operating Model

GreenOps must be embedded in the Cloud Operating Model alongside FinOps and the CCoE to ensure adoption. Sustainability dashboards and carbon budgets make environmental impact visible and actionable.
