The document discusses how digital technologies and data can help address sustainability issues like reducing CO2 emissions and increasing climate change resilience. It provides examples of how technologies like the Internet of Things, analytics, and cognitive computing can give insights into issues like energy usage, transportation flows, and infrastructure management. These insights can then be used to improve operational efficiency, better prepare for and respond to events, and foster new forms of collaboration. The document argues that, with the right approaches and by treating data as a new natural resource, digital technologies have the potential to significantly reduce CO2 emissions from various economic sectors and help build more climate resilient systems.
Koomey's talk on energy use and the information economy at the UC Berkeley Ph...Jonathan Koomey
I gave this talk on energy use and the information economy at the UC Berkeley Physics of Sustainable Energy Symposium March 8, 2014. It summarizes what I think are the most important issues related to the direct and indirect effects of information technology on energy use.
Bringing data center management and technology into the 21st CenturyJonathan Koomey
This talk is a slightly modified and condensed version of one I gave at DCD Converged in London on the morning of November 19, 2014. I gave it at VIP dinner sponsored by Siemens on the evening of that same day. I moved "One boss, one team, and one budget" to be the 2nd thing management can do, because tying IT to business performance with metrics is a prerequisite to doing the hard work of busting the silos. I realized this during the talk ("One boss, one team, and one budget" was original item #1).
Enterprise-level Green ICT Using virtualization to balance energy economicsIJARIDEA Journal
Abstract— The computing industry has been a significant contributor to global warming ever since its
inception. Performance maximization per unit has cost remained the prime focus of academic and industrial
research alike, ignoring environmental impacts in the process if any. However, the infamous global energy
crisis has inevitably pushed power and energy management up the priority list of computing design and
management activities for purely economic reasons today. Green IT lays emphasis on including the
dimensions of environmental sustainability, the offsets of energy efficiency, and the total cost of
disposal and recycling. A green computing initiative must be adaptive and flexible enough to be
able to address problems that keep on increasing in size and complexity with time. Cloud computing concepts
can invariably be applied to reduce e-waste generation. The service oriented architecture lends itself to
incorporating green computing as a process rather than a product. Re-usability, extensibility and flexibility
are some of the key characteristics which are inherent to the cloud and directly help address the vertical
specific challenges to reducing energy consumption in the long run.
Keywords— Cloud computing, Electronic waste, Green Information Technology, Service oriented architecture.
This talk, given at Google on June 6, 2012, summarizes what we know about energy use and information technology in a clear and understandable way. The person preceding me on stage was former Vice President Al Gore, so the pressure was on! I think I delivered, but you be the judge.

This presentation deals with various subjects of Green ICT such as its background, definition, regulation and policy. If you are simply interested in Green Startups in Korea, please move to the last chapter. I separated one slide into many to make easier for readers to follow the content as each slide has heavy information.
IT can play a central role in making your corporate strategy sustainable; the key to the success is the application of a holistic governance that makes sure the IT strategy is aligned with and fully supports corporate sustainability strategy.
Cloud computing has become the mainstream of the emerging technologies for information interchange and accessibility. With such systems, the information accessed from any geographic location on this planet with some decent kind of internet connection. Applying machine learning together with artificial intelligence in dealing with the problem of energy reduction in cloud data center is an innovative idea. A large combination of Artificial intelligence is playing a significant role in cloud environment. For that matter, the Big organization providers like Amazon have taken steps to ensure that they can continue to expand their fast-growing cloud services to commensurate with the fast growth of population. These companies have built large data centers in remote parts of the world to overcome a shortage of information. These centers consume significant amounts of electrical energy. There is often a lot of energy wastage. According to IDC white paper, data centers have tremendously wasted billions of energy regarding billing and cash. Additionally, researchers have argued that by the year 2020 the energy consumption rate would have doubled. Research in this area is still a hot topic. This paper seeks to address the energy efficiency issue at a Cloud Data Center using machine learning methodologies, principles, and practices. This article also aims to bring out possible future implementation methods for artificially intelligent agents that would help reduce energy wastage at a Cloud data center and thus help ameliorate the great big energy problem at hand.
What began as tiny baby steps to bridge gaps of human limitations like memory, cognitive fluctuations has today turned into a virtual revolution where an invisible world of 0’s and 1’s is home to the most important bytes and pieces of our lives.

The two other baits in the cloud computing movement is the live/real-time information updating and light-speed transfer of data. Initially, it was the center for large-scale corporations. In the last few years, small-scale and medium-sized organizations have also joined the army of cloud computing era. The analytics of the cloud computing culture swing between the spectrums ranging from the sustainability of cloud computing to the increased carbon emissions due to servers.

"Understanding the Carbon Cycle: Processes, Human Impacts, and Strategies for...MMariSelvam4
The carbon cycle is a critical component of Earth's environmental system, governing the movement and transformation of carbon through various reservoirs, including the atmosphere, oceans, soil, and living organisms. This complex cycle involves several key processes such as photosynthesis, respiration, decomposition, and carbon sequestration, each contributing to the regulation of carbon levels on the planet.
Human activities, particularly fossil fuel combustion and deforestation, have significantly altered the natural carbon cycle, leading to increased atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations and driving climate change. Understanding the intricacies of the carbon cycle is essential for assessing the impacts of these changes and developing effective mitigation strategies.
By studying the carbon cycle, scientists can identify carbon sources and sinks, measure carbon fluxes, and predict future trends. This knowledge is crucial for crafting policies aimed at reducing carbon emissions, enhancing carbon storage, and promoting sustainable practices. The carbon cycle's interplay with climate systems, ecosystems, and human activities underscores its importance in maintaining a stable and healthy planet.
In-depth exploration of the carbon cycle reveals the delicate balance required to sustain life and the urgent need to address anthropogenic influences. Through research, education, and policy, we can work towards restoring equilibrium in the carbon cycle and ensuring a sustainable future for generations to come.

UNDERSTANDING WHAT GREEN WASHING IS!.pdfJulietMogola
Many companies today use green washing to lure the public into thinking they are conserving the environment but in real sense they are doing more harm. There have been such several cases from very big companies here in Kenya and also globally. This ranges from various sectors from manufacturing and goes to consumer products. Educating people on greenwashing will enable people to make better choices based on their analysis and not on what they see on marketing sites.
