ICTandclimatechange.com explored how information and communications technologies can contribute to climate change, adapt to its impacts, and help other sectors cut emissions.

What we do

We provide analysis and advice for organisations working across information and communications technologies and energy, focusing on the relationship between ICT and climate change.

ICT companies can be victims, villains or heroes of climate change: exposed to climate impacts, contributing emissions, but also able to help transform how other sectors work, travel and use resources.

Why we do it

The project was created when the economic and environmental consequences of climate change were becoming increasingly difficult to ignore. The focus was practical: how can organisations understand their exposure, reduce unnecessary emissions and use technology more intelligently?

How we approach the problem

The work combined ICT, energy, regulation, strategy, social marketing and behavioural economics. Technology matters, but lower emissions also depend on people, incentives, procurement, operating practices and wider organisational systems.

Independent expertise

The original team brought senior-level experience from telecommunications, energy consulting, regulation, marketing and behaviour change. The consultancy operated independently of telecoms operators, energy companies, vendors and service providers.

Sustainable working

ICT tools were used to collaborate remotely, reduce unnecessary travel and produce analysis without the overhead of a large corporate organisation. Face-to-face meetings were used when they added real value.
