In today's world, software technologies have become an integral part of our lives. However, the rapid growth in software technologies and democratization through cloud services has provided organizations with unprecedented access to computational power, which could incur high energy usage and associated emissions costs. To accelerate our technological progress in a sustainable manner, software itself needs the ability to measure and reduce its impact on carbon emissions. This presentation will introduce the concept of carbon-aware computing and discuss how it can you design solution to lower the carbon footprint. By attending this presentation, you will gain a better understanding of how to make your organization's software stack more environmentally friendly while still maintaining its functionality and performance.

Objectives
- Explain the principals of green software
- Analyze carbon emissions impact of technology choices
- Design solutions for greener compute
- Identity areas with large carbon impact or quick wins
- To provide examples of companies that have successfully implemented carbon-aware computing practices and reduced their carbon footprint.
