The separate report of the smart energy session is available for download.

Scientists, economists and policy makers are calling for CO2 emissions targets of at least 20% below 1990 levels in 2020.  

It has been estimated that ICT may help other sectors to reduce their CO2 emission by 15% in 2020 which is a significant step towards reaching the 20% objective. 

ICT Energy efficiency addresses two main aspects : 

• Network efficiency: How to reduce telecom infrastructure energy consumption?
• Application efficiency: How to help people to reduce their energy consumption with innovative services?

The Smart energy session has the objective to bring a wide vision of the situation today and to bring some ideas where savings could be done.
