It’s highly relevant to feature a guide to web sustainability just days after [a research paper outlining how six out of nine planetary boundaries are now exceeded](https://www.stockholmresilience.org/research/research-news/2023-09-13-all-planetary-boundaries-mapped-out-for-the-first-time-six-of-nine-crossed.html), jeopardising all life on Earth. I’m writing this from Australia, where it’s only the beginning of spring, yet the temperature averages align with summer. Total fire bans and fire danger alerts already raised—the living proof of where we’re at.
As Web Sustainability Guidelines (and other similar projects) outline, performance is an integral part of building a resilient, sustainable web. Legislation to highlight how critical sustainability is isn’t far behind. From 2024, in the European Union, many companies will start reporting on sustainability due to the [Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD)](https://finance.ec.europa.eu/capital-markets-union-and-financial-markets/company-reporting-and-auditing/company-reporting/corporate-sustainability-reporting_en).
Business reasons and legislation aside, we simply cannot afford not to do absolutely everything to reduce carbon emissions, which includes what and how we build for the web.
