• Title: Estimating Meetings' Air Flight $CO_2$ Equivalent Emissions An Illustrative Example with IETF meetings
• Authors: Daniel Migault
• Abstract summary: CO2eq estimates that the participation to IETF meetings generates as much $CO$ equivalent as the $CO$ emissions per capita of European countries generating their energy using coal. In addition, the incorporation of sustainability principles into the IETF's strategy, should include, for example, increasing the effort to enhance the experience of'remote' participation.

• Abstract: These notes describe CO2eq a tool that estimates $CO_2$ equivalent emissions associated with air traffic and applies it to the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), an international standard developing organization that meets 3 times a year. CO2eq estimates that the participation to IETF meetings (by a single participant) generates as much $CO_2$ equivalent as the $CO_2$ emissions per capita of European countries generating their energy using coal -- like Germany or Poland for example. This suggests some radical changes should be considered by the IETF. According to the conclusion of the $26^{th}$ Conference of the Parties (COP26) from the United Nations Secretary-General Ant\'onio Guterres; in 2021, the number of meetings should be limited to a maximum of one meeting per year. In addition, the incorporation of sustainability principles into the IETF's strategy, should include, for example, increasing the effort to enhance the experience of 'remote' participation as well as adhering to programs (such as for example the United Nations Global Compact and the caring for climate initiative) to align its strategy and report progress toward sustainability.

  We conduct the first large-scale analysis of the energy footprint of Continuous Integration pipelines implemented with GitHub. We observe that the average unitary energy cost of a pipeline is relatively low, at 10 Wh. When evaluating CO2 emissions based on regional Wh-to-CO2 estimates, we observe that the average aggregated CO2 emissions are significant, averaging 10.5 kg.

The long-term time series spanning over fifty years of global daily CO2 emissions reveals an increasing trend in emissions due to extreme temperature events.

  A carbon market is a market-based tool that incentivizes economic agents to align individual profits with the global utility. We propose an adaptive mechanism design framework, simulating the market using hierarchical, model-free multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL) Numerical results show MARL enables government agents to balance productivity, equality, and carbon emissions.
