Sustainability is one of the biggest challenges of our generation. Technology, media and telecommunications (TMT) organisations have a dual role to play in sustainability – to transform their own organisation and ecosystems, and to use their role as digital enablers to drive the sustainability journeys across sectors.
The information and communications technology (ICT) sector accounts for between 2% and 4% of global carbon emissions and up to 7% of global electricity use, with many projections signalling continued exponential increase in data traffic and potential for ICT to rise to 14% of global emissions by 2040.
