An abstract illustration in a flat style featuring four highly abstracted figures, resembling line drawings or stick figures, sitting around a table. They are engaged in a friendly discussion, with no specific gender characteristics. The table should be simplistic, fitting the abstract theme. The background includes lush green plants, enhancing the serene and natural ambiance. Additionally, there's a graph prominently displayed in the background, trending upwards, symbolizing growth or success. The overall color scheme should be vibrant yet harmonious, complementing the abstract and minimalistic design of the figures and setting.

Explore the Future of Digital Sustainability with the Authors of the Web Sustainability Guidelines

In this special 1hr webinar, three of the WSG authors will walk us through the most UX-relevant parts of the guidelines, complete with tips on how to start applying parts of the WSG to your everyday work. I’ll then moderate a Q&A with questions from the audience (via Zoom or the SustainableUX slack).
