Connect | Virginia // Presentation: Sustainable Cooling - Delivering a water positive strategy for cooling

From climate change to pollution to aging infrastructure, water is an essential resource that is becoming increasingly scarce. This, combined with the increased demand for data center cooling, makes a water positive management strategy crucial. AWS set the target of becoming water positive by 2030, and in this presentation, expect to hear how AWS has managed to reach beyond 50% of that goal in just 3 years. How is AWS doubling down on preserving freshwater resources, expanding recycled-water infrasteucture, and prioritizing environmental stewardship? And how can an industry-wide effort succeed?
