New Global Climate Change Study Focuses on ICT Industry

9th November 2007 by Alex Briggs

A new global study was launched today by The °Climate Group and GeSI [Global e-Sustainability Initiative] to evaluate the ICT (Information Communication Technology) sector’s role in climate change.

The ICT sector currently accounts for less than two per cent of global greenhouse gas emissions, though this number could more than double by 2020. The independent research study will assess current carbon impacts of the ICT sector and analyse ICTs’ role in catalyzing transformation to a low-carbon economy.
