Sustainability Talks from AWS re:Invent 2023 — Post Event Update with Videos and Reviews

I wrote a <a href="https://medium.com/@adrianco/sustainability-at-aws-re-invent-2022-all-the-talks-and-videos-i-could-find-d0a19a0a1b86" rel="noopener">medium post after AWS re:Invent 2022</a> summarizing the (lack of) news and all the talks related to Sustainability. The lack of progress on Scope 3 carbon reporting <a href="https://www.computerweekly.com/news/365535550/AWS-under-fire-for-delays-in-delivering-Scope-3-GHG-emissions-data-to-enterprises-and-governments" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">was picked up by Computer Weekly</a> and the result was a statement from AWS that they are “working on it”. Google Cloud and Microsoft Azure released Scope 3 data in 2021. In their annual sustainability report in July 2023 AWS did <a href="https://medium.com/@adrianco/amazon-2022-sustainability-report-18-aws-regions-are-100-renewable-6748efa82b6b" rel="noopener">update their list of sustainable regions</a> to highlight 19 regions that are 100% sustainable — using an annual local market methodology for scope 1 and 2. There hasn’t been any other visible progress, and most of the people I used to work with on sustainability have now left Amazon. For re:Invent 2021 my team (but mostly Elise Greve) persuaded the re:Invent organizers to include Sustainability as a track code, and that was repeated for 2022 and now for 2023.  <a href="https://adrianco.medium.com/sustainability-talks-and-updates-from-aws-re-invent-2023-969100c46a6a">Read More</a>
