ICT can help region cut carbon emissions


PETALING JAYA: The Asia-Pacific region can play an important role in the reduction of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions through focused use of information and communications technology (ICT)-based solutions.

In a statement yesterday, International Data Corp (IDC) said its G20 ICT Sustainability Index revealed that of the 5.8 billion tons (Gigatons) of CO2 emissions that could be eliminated by 2020 through the focused use of ICT-based solutions, six countries from the region – Australia, China, India, Indonesia, Japan and South Korea – could account for 41.4%, or 2.4 gigatons.
