In this session of JCB's Lecture series featuring Dr Loïc Lannelongue, co-hosted by T-CAIREM, TRANSFORM HF, CCCHSC and AMS, we broke down how computing activities impact the environment, debated our collective responsibility to tackle it, and discussed the latest efforts of the Green Algorithms Initiative to empower researchers to understand and mitigate their environmental impacts. Through the lens of the GREENER principles for environmentally sustainable science, we explored the challenges the research community needs to overcome to create real change in this space.
