Abstract
This document defines the Sustainability HTTP response header field. This field provides a mechanism for servers to report the environmental impact and carbon footprint metrics associated with the processing and delivery of an HTTP request. By defining this header as a Structured Field, this specification ensures high parsing reliability and compatibility with HTTP/2 and HTTP/3 header compression mechanisms, thereby mitigating the secondary environmental costs of transmitting the metadata itself.
