Software and the digital world are having a growing impact on the planet.

🌍 But around the world, governments, organizations and the digital community are increasingly aware of the environmental consequences of a burgeoning software industry.

Germany’s Umweltbundesamt - Environment Agency is taking action.

Green IT Research Associate for the agency, Anna Zagorski, kicked off the SDIA’s Green Coding Summit by outlining why raising awareness of the issue is key.

The Umweltbundesamt has initiated two projects that aim to tackle the problem.

💡 The Blue Angel ecolabel for software
💡  The SoftAWARE project dedicated to developing tools for measuring and combatting software’s environmental impact.

👀 Watch as Anna describes why green coding is now such an important issue and the steps the German Environment Agency is already taking to combat the issue.
