UK well-placed to use IT for cutting CO2, says study
The ICT Sustainability Index has found that the UK is one of the world's best-prepared countries to use IT to reduce its CO2 emissions
The UK is one of the best prepared countries in the world to use IT to cut its CO2 emissions, according to a study presented at the UN Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen.
The ICT Sustainability Index, launched on Thursday 10 December, modelled and predicted the size of the reductions in CO2 emissions that each country in the G20 group of nations could achieve by using new technologies.
Countries were then ranked in order of those whose economy, infrastructure and laws put them in the best place to realise the biggest cuts, with the UK placed joint third with Brazil, France and Germany.
