Greening IT: How greener it can form a solid base for a low-Carbon society
Bringing climate change under control is one of the great historic
challenges facing humanity in the 21st century. To succeed, the international
community must reach an ambitious and comprehensive global
agreement that provides the framework for worldwide action to keep
global warming below dangerous levels.
The most convincing leadership the European Union can provide is
to become the most climate friendly region in the world. My goal is
to make this happen over the next five years. It is emphatically in Europe’s
interest: it will stimulate greener economic growth, create new
jobs and reduce our dependence on imported energy.
The EU has already committed unilaterally to cutting our greenhouse
gas emissions to at least 20% below 1990 levels by 2020, and
we are now analysing the practical options for moving beyond that
over the same period. The European Commission will then develop
its vision for completing Europe’s transition to a low carbon economy
by 2050 including the necessary scenarios for 2030. This will require
emission reductions of 80-95% by mid-century.
