This document discusses the urgent need for greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction amidst worsening climate change, highlighting Australia, the U.S., and Canada's roles as top emitters. It emphasizes the potential of information and communication technology (ICT) to achieve significant emissions reductions while noting the sector's own carbon footprint and challenges. The presentation outlines strategies and partnerships for promoting energy efficiency and shifting to renewable energy sources within the ICT sector and beyond.

Smart Electrical Grids “ That means updating the way we get our electricity by starting to build a new smart grid that will save us money; protect our power sources from blackout or attack; and deliver clean, alternative forms of energy to every corner of our nation.” ---President-Elect Obama Smart energy grids would allow real-time monitoring of a customer's energy use through Internet technology. Proponents of a national smart grid say it would likely result in decreased electricity use, allow energy companies to more efficiently distribute electricity, and encourage homeowners to install alternative energy generators such as solar panels and sell their excess energy back to the grid.
