2. Abstract I will review the evidence that global greenhouse gas emissions are causing an impulse to the nonlinear Earth climate system on a scale not seen for millions of years. It is essential that global reduction of such emissions be undertaken immediately. PRAGMA is in an important position to help, because the development and use of Green IT and telecom can provide a near term slowing of the emission rates. The Smart2020.org report shows that much of the opportunity lies in the Pacific Rim, where PRAGMA could be a leader toward a low carbon economy.
