Submitted by sheeja on Wed, 2012-02-22 14:11
Urgent action is required to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Developing countries overall are significant emitters, and they must maximise use of ICTs in three ways: Green ICT: reducing the emissions from production and use of ICTs themselves; Smart ICT: using ICTs in other sectors – energy, buildings, transportation, logistics, manufacture and forestry – to shrink their carbon footprint; Community ICT: applying ICTs at community level to reduce energy consumption and substitute for journeys.
