Green Coding and Sustainable Software

Definition Green Coding:

Green Coding is the act of designing, developing, maintaining, and (re-)using software systems in a way that requires as little energy and natural resources as possible. Green Coding methods or practices thus mean any action or use of technology intended and suitable to further this. (Junger et al., 2024)

Definition Sustainable Software:

Sustainable software is software that minimizes environmental impact and maximizes resource efficiency in its design, development, operation and use while considering economic and social factors. (Calero et al., 2021).
