1 Introduction
Information and communication technologies (ICT) hold significant potential in improving environmental sustainability and mitigating the effects of climate change. ICT may contribute to more optimised production, more sustainable patterns of consumption and more energy efficient use of infrastructure. At the same time, as use of ICT increases with dramatic speed, its own environmental impacts are becoming more significant. There is great need to improve environmental sustainability and energy efficiency in ICT operations.
The notion of ‘Green ICT’ assembles these ambitions under a general concept. Firms, governments, and social actors are increasingly promoting the green approach to ICT to gather momentum for improving environmental credentials of information and communication technologies. The two faces of green ICT are equally relevant: the green of ICT, that is, how the ecological footprint of ICT industry and products can be improved; and the green by ICT, which stresses the various ways ICT can contribute to improving environmental sustainability of other economic and social activities.
