They explore whether sustainability can be built directly into the software development process, from identifying “energy smells” in code to using tools that make energy efficiency as visible as performance or security. They also tackle the growing debate around AI’s environmental impact, examining whether today’s resource-intensive investments can be justified by future benefits, and why better measurement of energy, carbon, and water use is essential for making informed decisions about technology’s role in a sustainable future.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Learn more about our people:</strong></p><ul><li>Aditya Manglik: <a href=\"https://www.linkedin.com/in/adityamanglik/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">LinkedIn</a> | <a href=\"https://github.com/adityamanglik\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">GitHub</a> | <a href=\"https://adityamanglik.github.io/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Website</a></li><li>Valeria Salis: <a href=\"https://www.linkedin.com/in/valeria-salis?originalSubdomain=it\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">LinkedIn</a> | <a href=\"https://github.com/vallss\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">GitHub</a> | <a href=\"https://valeriasalis.com/en/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Website</a></li></ul><p><br></p><p><strong>Find out more about the GSF:</strong></p><ul><li><a href=\"https://greensoftware.foundation/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">The Green Software Foundation Website</a>&nbsp;</li><li>Sign up to the <a href=\"https://greensoftware.foundation/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Green Software Foundation Newsletter</a></li></ul><p><br></p><p><strong>News:</strong></p><ul><li><a href=\"https://tusharma.in/preprints/ICSME2026_EnergySmell.pdf\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">A Comprehensive Taxonomy of Software Energy Smells</a> [02:33]</li><li><a href=\"https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=6689098\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">The Net Climate Impact of Artificial Intelligence</a> [11:10]</li><li><a href=\"https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/ai-has-energy-story-its-water-still-being-written-scott-bryan-pe7kc/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">AI Has an Energy Story.
