Midgard: Making the Video Game Industry More Sustainable, One Game At a Time

Our session will cover four parts: The first part is an introduction to Midgard and an overview of our methodology.

This is followed by discussion on case studies/carbon audits that we’ve performed on several games ranging from one man studios to AA-AAA studios and key insights that we’ve learned.

Finally, I will discuss how carbon accountability can be used as a marketing tool for games before concluding the talk with practical but easy-to-implements ways devs and studios can track their carbon impact.
