Although we don’t see any dark fumes com­ing out of our com­put­ers, the use of IT comes at a sig­nif­i­cant envi­ron­men­tal cost. The share of glob­al IT green­house gas emis­sions was already equal to that of the avi­a­tion indus­try — even before the AI hype.

This talk will intro­duce you to the core con­cepts of sus­tain­abil­i­ty in web devel­op­ment — what are the main dri­vers of emis­sions, how can emis­sions be mea­sured and, of course, how to reduce them.

And even if you are not pri­mar­i­ly inter­est­ed in sus­tain­abil­i­ty, you may be inter­est­ed in the pos­i­tive side effects of Green IT, for exam­ple on your provider bill or your web­site success.
