Coding plays a crucial role in our response to climate change.

It’s at the heart of many digital platforms

and services that are shaping our future, from telemedicine to education. By teaching coding to the next
generation, we’re equipping them with the skills they need to innovate and make a positive impact on the
world.
Green coding is a practice that aims to reduce the energy consumption of computing processes. It’s a part
of the larger field of green computing, which focuses on minimizing the environmental impact of
technology. This is particularly important given that the IT sector is responsible for up to 3.9% of global
greenhouse gas emissions. By optimizing the way we write and run code, we can significantly reduce the
energy demands of data centers and other high-intensity operations.
