# Key strategies to decarbonize software


- **Date:** Thursday, Jul 18, 2024
- **Time:** 11:30–11:40 (10 min)
- **Room:** Airstream (120)
- **Event:** World Congress 2024

## Description

Our industry is responsible for around 4% of global carbon emissions - rising sharply. As software developers, we have the knowledge and the opportunity to reduce the emissions of our applications. It's all about mindset, knowledge and tooling.

In this short and intensive introduction, we will gain an insight into the principles and design patterns for developing sustainable software (specifically: energy and hardware efficiency, carbon intensity, demand shifting) and get to know a selection of tools and SDKs for this purpose.
