ICT4S is a joint effort of academia, industry, national and international organizations to take stock of the role of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in energy efficiency and sustainable development. How can we utilize the transformational power of ICT for making our world more sustainable? How can we really use ICT to create more value from less physical input, to increase quality of life for all without compromising future generations´ ability to meet their needs?
