Abstract
For years there has been an implicit assumption that the economic growth is dependent on emission growth. However, ICT has the potential to reduce energy consumption of almost all other industries. GeSi SMARTer2030 (2015) report1 shows that ICT has the potential to enable a 20% reduction of global CO2 emissions by 2030, thus holding emissions at 2015 levels, and demonstrating that judicious usage of ICT could effectively decouple economic growth from emissions growt.
