What it is

The web is an enormous emitter of emissions. It is how we deliver most digital technologies from data centre to device.

Measuring web emissions at useful levels (e.g. organisation, domain, page, journey) has long been a challenge, and most commonly it is simplified to single parameter proxies like emissions per byte of data.

But these simplifications have limitations and work is going on in the Green Software Foundation to extend the existing ISO/IEC 20131:2024 standard for Software Carbon Intensity with specific guidance for websites and browser based applications and an ISO standard of its own.

We will hear from the Co-Founders of Root & Branch about the latest developments in web emissions measurement and a demonstration of how they go about measuring websites from end user devices to cloud and web hosting.
