Information and communication technologies provide fascinating tools to monitor environmental change and no
other technology includes a similar potential for dematerialisation,
which means to provide goods and services with much less environmental burden.
But the devices consume also energy and somewhen they end as electronic waste. The paperless office, which is principally possible, has not yet had a breakthrough and also teleservices, which could replace travel, need more support. This website intends to demonstrate efforts to improve the environmental performance of IT-hardware, to provide examples of best practice and to introduce new environmentally friendly IT-products and services. It is co-ordinated by the Europan Support Centre of the Club of Rome. Please select a topic for further information.
