4. The environmental pressure
• We
are
facing
growing
environmental
challenges:
o Global
warming,
o Resources
scarcity,
o Financial
&
Societal
Crisis
• Professional
ICT
and
home
electronics
represent
2
to
3%
of
GHG
and
are
responsible
for
massive
toxic
e-‐waste.
• We
need
to
reduce
the
environmental
footprint
of
ICT.
• Hopefully
ICT
is
also
an
enabler
to
a
low
carbon
economy.
