Topics like AI and the climate are incredibly exciting and important for many of us. Yet the underlying evidence can be very complex, messy, and β€” unless you happen to be professionally or personally very into it β€” boring. We have done our best to make this report accessible to both technical and non-technical audiences, while preserving the nuance.

There is some focus on the UK context, but this report should be of interest all around the world, especially since the 'cloud giants'Β Amazon, Google, and Microsoft have such a global reach.
