The Global e-Sustainability Initiative (GeSI) releases the new SMARTer2030 report

The Global e-Sustainability Initiative (GeSI) releases the new SMARTer2030 report:

In 2008, GeSI launched the first report of its SMART series, the SMART2020, followed by SMARTer2020 in 2012. Now in 2015, the SMARTer2030 report has been launched with the aim to extend the horizon to 2030 and to look at ICT-enabled sustainability from a holistic point of view.

According to GeSI, “This report shows that ICT has the potential to enable a 20% reduction of global CO2e emissions by 2030, thus holding emissions at 2015 levels, and to effectively decouple economic growth from emissions growth. The SMARTer2030 also illustrates through a number of case studies what successful applications ICT can have in everyday life. It contains recommendations to decision-makers, businesses and consumers on what actions are needed to make the most of the technology benefits.”

The report is available at #SMARTer2030.
