Educause Green It Summit Nov 13
Universities can play a leadership role in reducing global warming by transitioning to a zero-carbon economy through their information and communication technologies (ICT). ICT currently accounts for 2-3% of global emissions but has the potential to enable much larger indirect emission reductions. Universities should inventory their ICT carbon emissions, develop zero-carbon network architectures using renewable energy sites, virtualization, and applications to reduce emissions. This can also create economic opportunities while positioning universities as sustainability leaders.
On Vector Green Broadband
- Global warming poses one of the greatest threats to society and the economy, requiring 15-30% cuts in greenhouse gas emissions by 2020 and deeper 60-80% cuts by 2050 to limit temperature rise.
- Information and communication technology (ICT) can both directly reduce its own 2-3% share of emissions and enable much larger indirect emission reductions in other sectors like transportation and buildings.
- A "zero carbon" strategy of relocating ICT infrastructure to remote renewable energy sites powered by wind and solar is proposed, using optical networks to connect to users. This could make growth in ICT services carbon neutral.
Telstra Low Carbon Future Report
Connecting with a low-carbon future. This report examines how Information and Communication Technology (ICT)
can help unlock the financial and environmental benefits of a low-carbon
economy, building on the findings of the 2007 Telstra-commissioned report,
Towards a High-Bandwidth Low-Carbon Future (the 2007 Report). The findings in this report reveal that
the potential of ICT to help reduce
energy costs and carbon emissions has
grown substantially over the past seven
years and, if realised, the opportunities
identified here could help Australians
substantially cut emissions, by 27.5
MtCO2-e per year and achieve savings and
revenue of almost $8.92
billion per year.
Since the 2007 Report was released,
the pressure on governments and
business to reduce energy use and carbon
emissions has intensified. Energy prices
have increased significantly and there
is increasing scientific confidence that
human activity is a major contributor to
climate change.
Given regulatory and societal pressure
to address climate change, Australian
businesses must find ways to reduce
carbon emissions, while at the same time
containing costs and balancing their
public reputation with shareholder and
investor requirements.

Universities and research networks can play a leadership role in reducing CO2 emissions. Drastic reductions are needed to limit global warming, and information and communication technologies (ICT) are both a contributor and an enabler of reductions. While ICT accounts for 2-3% of emissions, it could enable reductions five times larger in other sectors through applications like smart grids and buildings. Universities produce significant emissions and must inventory and reduce their carbon footprints to avoid future costs. ICT infrastructure itself must transition to renewable energy to support future needs while remaining carbon neutral.

The document discusses how information and communication technologies (ICT) can both contribute to climate change through their own emissions, but also help reduce emissions in other sectors through applications like telework and smart grids. It provides examples of data centers relocating to remote renewable energy sites to become "zero carbon", and explores the technical and policy challenges of using an optical network to reliably connect distributed computing resources that follow renewable energy sources.
Cips Edmonton
The document discusses how information and communication technologies (ICT) can help Canada and Alberta become world leaders in transitioning to a zero carbon economy. It argues that ICT has the potential to significantly reduce carbon emissions through applications like telework, smart grids, and data centers powered by renewable energy. The document proposes using ICT-enabled solutions and "carbon rewards" instead of carbon taxes to incentivize emission reductions while keeping wealth in the local economy. It also outlines challenges around ensuring reliable digital services from intermittent renewable sources and providing broadband internet access as a carbon reward.

Green Broadband
To ensure our future is low carbon, as a nation we need to alter our current legacy which is reliance on fossil fuels. An important contribution to getting there is to build a high-speed, ubiquitous broadband network. This will enable flexible working, efficient deployment of field staff and fleets, and video conferencing, all of which will help to reduce our reliance on fossil fuels.
Currently, per person, per annum we contribute 28 tonnes of greenhouse gases to the atmosphere. Our challenge as a nation is clear. We have 40 years to reduce this to 3 tonnes per person, per annum. Climate change and global warming are not just environmental issues, but forces that will shape how we will do business. In this paper, I will address how Telstra is using broadband to reduce its own carbon footprint and why broadband will enable our customers and the nation to do the same.
The effects of climate change are not going away. Why? In the past 12 months climate scientists have confirmed our worst fears – early modelling vastly underestimated the impacts. There is now a greater than 60% chance that the world will experience a 2C increase in temperature by mid this century, which will lead to more severe droughts, heatwaves, storm events and sea level rise. But there is one thing we can be 100% sure of. Our future will be carbon-constrained. That also means there will be a cost on carbon.
A colleague from the banking industry told me last month that their courier company has already passed on a fuel surcharge of 15%. Across the bank’s entire operations, courier costs have increased by a million dollars. And this is only one of their suppliers. Businesses and governments must act to reduce their exposure to this crisis.

My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

- 7. Source: International Energy Agency Source: International Telecommunications Union
- 11. Remote Work: Low Hanging Fruit 3% of the U.S. workforce telecommutes a majority of the time today… … if 40% who can did so more than ½ the time… We save 453 million barrels of oil (57% of Gulf oil imports) Environmental Impact = taking 15 million cars permanently off the road Gas savings 2X more than current production of all renewable sources combined National productivity increases by $200 billion Businesses save $194 billion annually in real estate, electricity, absenteeism, and turnover 150,000 people/year would be saved from traffic-related injury or death The annual economic benefit would total $800 billion a year Source: TelecommutingKate
- 15. BetterWork™ Framework = Sustainable Business
Editor's Notes
- In the roughly 450B U.S. carrier market, BetterWorld is the only triple bottom line (placing people and planet on equal footing with profits) while focused on providing service to organizations with social and sustainable missions
- We provide solutions that emcompass all business grade carrier products on the market today. On one bill, one number to call for support, all backed by the industry’s only unconditional 100 guarantee every month of service.
- Our environmental impact plan is woven into everything we do, which starts with our corporate design, with all operations
- Which translates into a customer base of organizations all united in their efforts to make the world a better place, here are some examples
- About 30 years ago, Kirkpatcick Sale wrote…well it would be hard to consider physically joining the two at this point, but we can start virtually….
- Couple key numbers and opportunities for the telecom industry to consider side by side 2.5%, 97.5% and 75%
- So, for us to begin having an impact on the 75% number, we must begin to meaningfully substitute technology and remote work for transportation, travel and buildings
- The World Wildlife Fund report paints 4 different scenarios for Commuting and Air Travel over the next 40 years, Carbon is current trajectory, Smart is if 50% of the workers who can, work remotely 4 days per week.
- Same for Air Travel, using substitutions of video/web/audio conferencing for business travel
- The results are staggering, we save 453 million barrels of oil (national security)= 15M cars off the road (environment), $194 in business savings (economy), 150,000 people/year would be saved from traffic-related injury or death (health)
- We can begin today, no new products need to be invented or infrastructure laid in the ground – Insight Research estimates this Green approach, teaching organizations how to fish, to be 256B per year oppty but 2013
- Starting in 2008, we partnered with the Bainbridge Graduate Institute to create a ground level study of the impacts of remote work and travel substitution, we studied companies that have successfully implemented these concepts and developed a model to measure the cost and environmental impacts for organizations.
- One of the companies that has had particular success in this area is Sun Micro, where about ½ of their employees work remotely 2-3 days per week and they saved almost 70M in real estate costs in 2007, and approximately 24K metric tons of CO2
- When you add the benefits of BetterWork together, the result is a lower carbon footprint, combined with a greater work/life balance and community participation to deliver higher profits and a more productive workforce.
- The opportunity for the telecom industry to become a true global force in the climate change movement. But the industry needs to mobilize now through its foot soldiers out on the street, learning from other industries that have made the environment a centerpiece such as the commericial building industry and the LEED standard. Thank you.
