Dispatch #18/23

Welcome to this week's Dispatch; one main point this time is sustainability in Tech. Today, we have some links to various aspects of sustainability, on how to address sustainability goals and the role of Sustainability Engineers. We will also look at Gartner's technology trend report, its view on sustainability, and the importance of resilience in all parts of an organization. Let's dive in and explore how we can make Tech more sustainable.

Here are some engaging articles that we came across this week:
