Energy and Climate Resilient IT Infrastructure | George Dodd

At New York Energy Week 2025, George Dodd of Kyndryl underscores the urgent need to integrate climate resilience into IT strategy. As digital infrastructure expands through AI and automation, it faces mounting pressure from extreme weather, energy constraints, and regulatory shifts. Dodd presents five principles for resilient IT: optimize energy use, adopt clean and flexible power, design for disruption, extend system lifespan, and monitor performance in real time. He urges leaders to see infrastructure not just as a technical asset but as a strategic one. In a climate-challenged world, resilient IT becomes essential to business continuity, sustainability, and long-term value creation.
