The second part of ITU's Symposia on ICTs and Climate Change takes place next week in London. You can follow the event live by registering here.
The first event in Kyoto, April, saw ITU’s Standardization Sector (ITU-T) tasked with the development of an internationally agreed standard methodology to measure the impact of ICTs on climate change, both in terms of the direct emission of greenhouse gases, and the savings that can be generated in other sectors of industry through the application of ICTs. See chairman's report here. UPDATE: video archive - here
