Tackling climate change by reducing and eventually eliminating carbon emissions is a significant milestone on the path toward establishing an environmentally sustainable society. As we transition into the exascale era, marked by an increasing demand and scale of HPC resources, the HPC community must embrace the challenge of reducing carbon emissions from designing and operating modern HPC systems. In this position paper, we describe challenges and highlight different opportunities that can aid HPC sites in reducing the carbon footprint of modern HPC systems.
