Although climate change is a large and complex problem, the tech

sector is taking some steps to help make the industry more climate-
friendly. For example, there is a growing trend to make technology and
software more “carbon-efficient,” which takes into account energy
efficiency factors and results in fewer carbon emissions released per
unit of work.
Throughout this article, you will gain a greater understanding of climate
change and its effects and learn how the tech community is fighting
climate change through carbon-efficient, green digital, and software
solutions. We will conclude by sharing a list of technology resources
you can use to take action, including GitHub projects, libraries, APIs,
open data sets, and more.

What Is Climate Change and What Are


the Implications?
The term climate change refers to an alteration in weather patterns and
temperatures over time. Much of the rapid warming of our planet can
be explained by greenhouse gas emissions and other human activities,
which already have a noticeable and negative effect on our
environment. Due to rising global temperatures linked to climate
change, glaciers and ice sheets in polar regions are melting at an
accelerated rate, resulting in rising sea levels in various parts of the
world. Rising ocean temperatures have also increased flooding and
erosion along coastlines as a result of rising sea levels.
Here are some of the implications of these climate change effects, as
outlined by the United States Environmental Protection Agency.
