The digital sector is responsible for between 2% and 4% of global CO₂ emissions, a footprint comparable to that of aviation, and data centers consume nearly 1% of the world’s electricity. With the expansion of cloud services, data, and artificial intelligence, this impact continues to grow, making it essential to rethink how we design and build software.
Software has a real environmental impact, and understanding it is key to building more sustainable technology. This masterclass will explore what Green Software is and why it is becoming a priority for organizations and technical teams around the world.
It will examine how decisions related to architecture, development, data management, and AI directly influence the energy consumption and carbon footprint of digital systems. Through clear concepts and practical examples, the session will demonstrate how to measure, design, and optimize more efficient software—without sacrificing performance or business value.
A session to understand the present—and future—of sustainable and responsible software in the age of data and artificial intelligence.
