Energy and climate change
- The role of ICT in developing a low carbon economy
- Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) has increased productivity and supported economic growth across the globe. But what impact does it have on climate change? Experts quantify the direct emissions from ICT products and services and explore ways that ICT could enable reductions of emissions in other sectors of the economy.
