Seth Dobbs, CEO of Web Consortium just published their "key themes for
the year", and stated:
"I am looking forward to making sustainability
a new key aspect and goal of web standards. "

On 15th & 16th of February, there will be an interim session of the IETF
group for "Environmental Impacts of Internet Technology":

To get most of the discussions, it is recommended to join the mailing
list in advance, and/or to check the archives:

37th instance of CCC congress happened between Xmass & New year 2023;
this year, Chaos Communication Congress had a track dedicated to
"Sustainability & Climate Justice".
You can find the descriptions of talks here:
https://fahrplan.events.ccc.de/congress/2023/fahrplan/events.html#sustainability%20&%20climate%20justice
and all the videos archived here:
https://media.ccc.de/c/37c3/Sustainability%20&%20Climate%20Justice
Some are relevant for various RIPE Working groups, for example:
* Software Licensing For A Circular Economy
* Energy Consumption of Datacenters
* Blackbox Chemieindustrie (in German)
In adherence with their own mission, there were also Local Hubs for
participating in the CCC, called "Chaos Everywhere".
===
And this is an opportunity to "plug in" (pun intended) our own local
hubs: the call for RIPE88 is open!
