Now Google's building on that progress to target a new sustainability goal: running their business on carbon-free energy 24/7, everywhere, by 2030. In this recording, hear about Google's new [Cloud Region Picker](https://googlecloudplatform.github.io/region-picker/) sharing data about how they are performing against that objective so that you can select Google Cloud regions based on the carbon-free energy supplying them.   **Links shared by the community:** - [Carbon free energy for Google Cloud regions](https://cloud.google.com/sustainability/region-carbon) - [Google Cloud Region Picker](https://googlecloudplatform.github.io/region-picker/) - [Google Environmental Report 2019](https://services.google.com/fh/files/misc/google_2019-environmental-report.pdf) --- ## Recent Articles [Data Analytics](https://www.c2cglobal.com/articles/tag/data-analytics) ## [Generative AI: Are You Behind?!](https://www.c2cglobal.com/articles/generative-ai-are-you-behind) Review the latest insights from the AI Readiness Report.
