The document discusses the role of information and communication technologies (ICT) in enabling clean energy technologies for the future. It notes that ICT can help monitor, manage and reduce energy use in buildings and transportation which account for a large portion of emissions. As more "smart objects" are connected to the internet of things, ICT will play a bigger role in optimizing energy use and reducing emissions across sectors in coming years.
