The tech sector has an elephant in the room: the energy use of digital services can be enormous. In 2024, the World Bank estimated the internet to account for 1-4% of global greenhouse emissions, similar to aviation. The good news is: there are documented and measurable opportunities to improve. From code to infrastructure. As web developers, we can make the web greener at work.
In this talk, we’ll look at best practices from the W3C’s new Web Sustainability Guidelines and beyond, focusing on lessons you can apply today.

Everyone can say their digital product is accessible, but the proof of the pudding is in the eating: thorough testing is key. Globally, there is quite some variety in testing procedures. WCAG-EM is one of them, and this year, it’s received its first update in over 10 years, bringing it up to date with emerging technologies. In this talk, you’ll hear why testing structurally can help monitoring efforts of large organisations and governments alike, and find out what’s new in WCAG-EM 2, from one of its editors.
