How to take climate action with your code

Climate change is a critical issue, and efforts are being made to harness technology to mitigate its effects through the Climate Action Plan for Developers. This initiative provides developers with over 60,000 climate-focused repositories on GitHub to help achieve net-zero carbon emissions. Key projects include Speed & Scale, which offers a net-zero action plan with measurable objectives, Electricity Maps, which provides a global view of carbon intensity via an API, and CodeCarbon, a tool for tracking and reducing CO2 emissions in Python projects. ClimateTriage connects developers to open-source projects focused on sustainability, and by using tools like GitHub Copilot and CodeCarbon, developers can optimize their code for energy efficiency.
