Regulations, Standards, and Future Perspectives

In previous chapters, we have laid a path to set the foundation for further development in green software engineering. We began our journey by examining the actual impact of digital products on the environment, reviewing how to quantify that impact, and identifying strategies to mitigate it. We also discussed how to incorporate these strategies into a methodological approach within the software development life cycle (SDLC).

As we approach the end of our journey, this final chapter delves into current industry standards and methodologies for reporting software carbon emissions, analyzing ongoing efforts to establish consensus on metrics normalization. We will also explore what we imagine the future of green software engineering can be by envisioning developments in policy, technology, and user behavior, underscoring the increasing importance of environmental considerations in software development.

In this chapter, we will explore...
