Rishi Vaish, VP and CTO of IBM Sustainability Software takes us through Sustainability by the Numbers to give us context and scope of the impact of climate change and why we need to act now. Rishi also gives concrete examples of what we can do to make a difference.
In addition, he has a call to action for Site Reliability Engineers - from questions to get us to think of sustainability from the start, as well as considerations to be more sustainable from our roles.
