@jawache I had this idea while you were on leave. Below is the outline. Is this an article we can work towards publishing in anticipation of Climate Week?
[ ] Explain the global shift from a fossil fuel-based economy to a sustainable, low-carbon one. Discuss how green software is essential in reducing energy consumption and the carbon footprint of digital applications.
[ ] Introduce the SCI Specification and the Impact Framework as key tools for measuring and reducing software’s environmental impact.
[ ] Emphasize how these tools can help companies assess and ensure compliance with emerging software-related ESG regulations.
[ ] Discuss the projected increase in AI-related electricity consumption and its environmental implications. Mention advancements in energy-efficient chips from companies like NVIDIA and AMD. Highlight the need for leaner, more efficient software to fully leverage these hardware innovations.
