The Vatican is smaller than a single data center. Now it’s spending $117 million to go carbon-neutral
AI EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Vatican has announced a financial commitment of $117 million aimed at achieving carbon neutrality. Despite its tiny geographical footprint, which is smaller than some modern technology data centers, the microstate is undertaking this major environmental initiative to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions.
WHY IT MATTERS
This initiative represents a significant financial and symbolic commitment by the Holy See to combat climate change despite its exceptionally small land area.
The microstate is still smaller than Meta's Hyperion data center campus, which is expected to consume up to 5 gigawatts by 2030.
