ICT accounts for 8-10% of the EU’s electricity consumption and up to 4% of its carbon emissions
Cities contribute to 70% of the world’s greenhouse gases. Smarter cities are key actors in the fight against climate change
An energy-efficient ICT sector could save up to €600 billion & decrease 15% of carbon emissions in 2020 (The Climate Group)
