SUMMARY:Walking the Walk: The ESM Community must be a Role Model in Energy
  Efficiency
DESCRIPTION:Minisymposium\n\nRichard Loft (AreandDee LLC) and William Sawy
 er (ETH Zurich / CSCS)\n\nRecently, in the face of mounting concern about 
 climate change, the energy demand (and carbon footprint) of rapidly growin
 g IT tech, such as cloud, cryptocurrencies, and generative AI has come und
 er increasing scrutiny. Compared to these global IT trends, the carbon emi
 ssions of earth system modelling activities conducted by comparatively few
  scientists on HPC systems might seem like small potatoes. But as ESMs con
 tinue to grow larger, more complex and more data intensive the amount of e
 nergy needed to run them continues to increase. The climate community must
  lead by example by measuring, reporting and reducing these emissions. Mea
 surement of energy consumption will require improved infrastructure instru
 mentation, the community-wide agreement on end-to-end metrics. Reporting w
 ill require institutional transparency and integrity. Realizing reductions
  through improved computational efficiency will be comparatively harder, a
 nd will require investment and innovation in algorithmic, software and com
 putational technologies.\n\nDomain: Climate, Weather, and Earth Sciences, 
 Applied Social Sciences and Humanities, Engineering\n\nSession Chairs: Jan
  Frederik Engels (DKRZ) and William Sawyer (ETH Zurich / CSCS)
