This document summarizes a presentation on green IT and climate change. It discusses how anthropogenic activities have increased CO2 levels and global temperatures. It then focuses on the growing energy demands and emissions from ICT, and how data centers could account for 25% of ICT emissions by 2020. However, applying ICT strategically could reduce emissions by 15%. The presentation addresses US political challenges but also initiatives by states, cities, and universities to reduce emissions. It argues university campuses can test innovations like microgrids and green data centers that could reduce future ICT and energy demands.

Editor's Notes
- bills.
- Looking ahead, it is likely that ICT and CE equipment will take an even greater share of residential electricity consumption unless policy measures are introduced to increase energy efficiency. Under estimated market conditions, the IEA expects that energy use by these devices will double by 2022 and increase threefold by 2030 (see Figure 3). By the end of this period, global electricity use by household ICT and CE equipment could rise to 1 700 TWh, requiring the addition of approximately 280 GW of generating capacity. This level of consumption is equivalent to the current combined total residential electricity consumption of the United States and Japan, and would cost householders around the world USD 200 billion in electricity bills.
