    The Week in Green Software: Shift-Left Sustainability

    This Week in Green Software, Valeria, Adi, and Oli come together to explore the concept of Shift-Left Sustainability—the idea that environmental impact should be considered early in the software development lifecycle rather than after deployment. They discuss how better measurement, developer tooling, and practical incentives can help teams build more efficient and environmentally responsible software, why sustainability should be treated more like security, and highlight growing government interest in digital sustainability.
