This is the report of the Dagstuhl Seminar 24402 on Greening Networking: Toward a Net Zero Internet that took place from September 29th to October 2nd 2024. The seminar discussed the most impactful networking improvements for reducing carbon emissions in three different areas: 1) applications, systems, and stakeholders; 2) network technologies; and 3) lifecycle and control loops. As a major result of the seminar, the following problems and topics for future research were identified: 1) characterizing the Internet footprint on carbon emissions accurately; 2) understanding attributional and consequential accounting of carbon emissions in networked systems; and 3) identifying potential solutions to give network systems more flexibility in better supporting energy grids and connecting to renewable energy sources. One of the concrete results of this seminar is a list of technologies and research opportunities for which we estimated the potential impact and time horizons.
