<h3>SYNOPSIS</h3>In recent years, increasing environmental awareness has resulted in a sudden increase in interest in the environmental sustainability of software systems, but we are still in the early stages of industry-wide awareness, with relatively few development teams actively prioritising environmental sustainability in their work.In this talk we will explain the need for sustainable software engineering and review the current state of the art in measuring the environmental impact of a software system.With the use of a case study, we will illustrate the significant effect that architectural decisions can have, positively or negatively, on a system's environmental sustainability, and explore some of the architectural techniques, tactics, and patterns that we can use to estimate and reduce the environmental impact of our software systems.
