About this video


We discussed that the focus on efficiency advancements is not enough to effectively cut CO2 emissions. Thus we need to augment the strategy of efficiency with the strategies of consistency and sufficiency. We can follow the consistency strategy by e.g. developing software more in the open (open source) and we can follow the sufficiency strategy by focusing on what is really needed in software, e.g. not implementing nice-to-have features.
