Extending IPv6 to support Carbon Aware Networking - Green Web Foundation
As part of the recent Carbon Aware Internet project funded by RIPE NCC in 2021, the Green Web Foundation worked with the non-profit organisation Ember Climate to annotate every publicly available IP address on Earth with geolocated carbon intensity data. This work contributed to a collaborative response from the authors below, to a recent call… Extending IPv6 to support Carbon Aware Networking
Carbon Footprint Calculations for a Software Company – Adapting
Through non-financial reporting, such as CSRD, carbon footprint calculations are becoming mandatory in the software industry. The golden standard for reporting CO2 emissions is based on the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Protocol and its scopes 1, 2, and 3. However, as a...
Systems thinking and efficiency under emissions constraints: Addressing rebound effects in digital innovation and policy
Rebound effects occur in the digital sector when ICT efficiency improvements offset
emissions savings or increase emissions. These must be considered in digital innovation
and associated policy for sustainable ICT; however, there are key challenges to this
that we identify through a transdisciplinary workshop and discuss in this perspective.
We call for future work to address these challenges and to take a systems thinking
approach for considering ICT’s environmental impacts. From this, a solution to rebound
effects becomes visible: efficiencies under emissions constraints.

Green and sustainable AI research: an integrated thematic and topic modeling analysis - Journal of Big Data
This investigation delves into Green AI and Sustainable AI literature through a dual-analytical approach, combining thematic analysis with BERTopic modeling to reveal both broad thematic clusters and nuanced emerging topics. It identifies three major thematic clusters: (1) Responsible AI for Sustainable Development, focusing on integrating sustainability and ethics within AI technologies; (2) Advancements in Green AI for Energy Optimization, centering on energy efficiency; and (3) Big Data-Driven Computational Advances, emphasizing AI’s influence on socio-economic and environmental aspects. Concurrently, BERTopic modeling uncovers five emerging topics: Ethical Eco-Intelligence, Sustainable Neural Computing, Ethical Healthcare Intelligence, AI Learning Quest, and Cognitive AI Innovation, indicating a trend toward embedding ethical and sustainability considerations into AI research. The study reveals novel intersections between Sustainable and Ethical AI and Green Computing, indicating significant research trends and identifying Ethical Healthcare Intelligence and AI Learning Quest as evolving areas within AI’s socio-economic and societal impacts. The study advocates for a unified approach to innovation in AI, promoting environmental sustainability and ethical integrity to foster responsible AI development. This aligns with the Sustainable Development Goals, emphasizing the need for ecological balance, societal welfare, and responsible innovation. This refined focus underscores the critical need for integrating ethical and environmental considerations into the AI development lifecycle, offering insights for future research directions and policy interventions.
