Can AI growth and climate goals coexist?

A University of Cambridge report warns AI could drive a 25-fold rise in tech industry energy use by 2040, threatening net zero targets. A second study argues that AI can aid the energy transition – but only if governments align digital and climate strategies now.

Why the grid will decide the UK’s energy future

The UK’s energy transition is gathering momentum, driven by rapid electrification across transport, heat, industry and digital infrastructure. Yet the electricity grid – the backbone of this transition – was never designed for today’s ambitions. While much of the national conversation focuses on generation targets, it is the grid itself that will determine how quickly, equitably and productively the UK can reach net zero, writes Mark Neller, Arup’s Energy Leader for the UK, India, Middle East and Africa.

EU 2040 emissions reduction target holds its line on climate, but climate groups warn that loopholes threaten its integrity

The European Commission (EC) has proposed maintaining the EU Climate Law target of a 90% reduction in net greenhouse gas emissions by 2040 compared to 1990 levels, but allowing new ‘flexibilities’ in how this target is met. Climate groups have raised concerns, in particular regarding the proposed use of international carbon credits to help meet the target, which they fear could undermine the EU’s climate credibility in the run up to COP30.
