International Symposium: "ICTs and Climate Change" London, United Kingdom, 17-18 June 2008

Opening ceremony - Sir Michael RAKE, Chairman, BT Group
Since the adoption of the Kyoto Protocol, in December 1997, the number of users of information and communication technologies (ICTs) worldwide has tripled. ITU has launched a new work programme aimed at investigating the role that ICTs play in causing global warming, but also in monitoring, mitigating and adapting to climate change. This symposium builds upon an earlier one held in Kyoto, 15-16 April, to look in more detail at the role that ICT standardization, and the implementation of ITU Recommendations, can make in reducing greenhouse gases.
