By theme — the 5 pillars
02 H₂O Theme · Water 🇬🇧
Water — the resource that makes or breaks a project
Cooling, withdrawals, basins already under stress: the questions to ask before a data center turns on the tap.
03 Ha Theme · Land & biodiversity 🇬🇧
Land & biodiversity — building without sealing soil
Brownfield or living land? What a project's ground footprint reveals about its acceptability — long before the public inquiry.
04 Local Theme · Local impact 🇬🇧
Local impact — neighbours, jobs, trade-offs
Recovered heat, local benefits, nuisance: what a territory gains — or endures — when a data center moves in.
05 Doc. Theme · Transparency 🇬🇧
Transparency — who publishes, who stays silent
Accessible files or organised opacity: an operator's transparency shows document by document — and it says a lot about everything else.
