Today at London Climate Action Week, UN Secretary-General @antonioguterres cited findings from UNU-INWEH's report, "Environmental Cost of Artificial Intelligence: Carbon, Water and Land Footprints", during the launch of the AI Environmental Transparency Initiative.

The environmental toll of the artificial intelligence boom continues to mount as tech companies use ever more power to run their data centers and use enormous amounts of water for cooling. A new investigation by U.N. scientists warns that AI's water use in 2030 will match the needs of 1.3 billion people, while its power use will be triple that of Pakistan, Bangladesh and Nigeria combined — countries with a total population of 650 million.

"Most people understand AI as a digital technology, as a virtual thing, as something that is in the clouds," says Iranian environmental scientist Kaveh Madani, director of the United Nations University Institute for Water, Environment and Health. "What we tried to do in this report was to remind people that there's some physics to all of this."

A new UNU-INWEH report highlights the hidden water costs of the energy transition.

▪️ Lithium production consumed an estimated 456 billion litres of water in 2024
▪️ 16% of critical mineral extraction occurs in water-stressed areas
