👩🏻💻 Building the Web in a Climate Emergency
As we wake up to the extent of the climate crisis, we’re starting to understand that when the scientists said we need “rapid, far-reaching, and unprecedented” changes to how we work and live, they really meant it.
So what can, and what should we be doing as technology professionals if we’re in a climate emergency?
In this talk we'll learn how the internet itself has a sizable direct climate impact - and also the less obvious impacts it has too, on how we talk about climate, and how we make laws to respond to the crisis.
We’ll explore these questions, sharing what we've learned as we build an syllabus in the open for incorporating climate justice into the way we build digital services, and introduce GOLD, a set of principles you can use to build the web in a more sustainable way.
Finally we'll touch on what a climate compatible, carbon aware internet might look like in the future, and how we might design for it.

Designers and developers share a common mission - to create amazing experiences. But it's not always easy for these two tribes to communicate. To bridge the gap between design and technology, we created the Front Conference in 2011.
To create great digital products, we rely on each other: designers on developers and developers on designers. That's why we came up with the idea of a conference for everyone involved in the design and implementation of a front end.
By staying at the forefront of both design and technology, we've grown to become the largest web conference in Switzerland. Our interests have broadened to reflect the increasing maturity of the industry. We now cover management topics such as design leadership, tech governance and UX strategy.
Our attendees range from juniors to managers, and we attract key speakers to come to Zurich and share their knowledge in talks and workshops.
The conference has become a place to learn and network, and we have many loyal professionals who come back every year.
