Abstract The world-wide expansion of cloud services has not only made enormous computing power affordable but also has caused an astronomical increase in consumption of electricity and carbon emissions. With the push by countries and industries to achieve the net-zero outcomes, the environmental impact of the cloud infrastructure is an important task to reduce. The reviewed paper examines the concept of green cloud computing along various lines, including technologies and practices that can make data centres more energy-efficient and climate-friendly. It follows the developments of the virtualization methods, allocation of resources, data centres that use renewable energy and new cooling systems that have been developed to minimize the carbon footprint of cloud computing. Another aspect that the paper explores is the approach of the major cloud providers such as Google, Amazon Web Services, and Microsoft to sustainability, which moves them toward carbon-neutral or carbon-negative computing platforms. Along with this, the review speaks about global environmental standards, Green Service Level Agreement, policy frameworks which define sustainable cloud practices. A number of research gaps are established and the paper ends by defining research opportunities and approaches that could be used to facilitate the shift of cloud ecosystems to being environmentally responsible. All in all, it gives a clear and in-depth picture of the technical, operation and policy routes to minimize the climate impact of the contemporary cloud computing.
