Information communication technology (ICT) has become one of the main talking points at the World Economic Forum (WEF) as a tool to achieve climate goals and energy savings, through better collaboration, creativity and connectivity between companies and people. The WEF is an annual gathering in Davos, Switzerland, that brings together business leaders from around the world for discussions on global issues. A report released last by BT, with the help of Accenture, argues that ICT-driven solutions could help the UK Government meet its carbon reduction targets by 24% and also create £122bn in economic value by 2030. Additionally a report by the Global e-Sustainability Initiative (GeSI) looks at innovative use of ICT, concluding that it can contribute to reducing carbon, increase economic growth and benefit society.
