JISC: Fresh approach to new technology will help universities combat climate change

JISC TechWatch is the Joint Information Systems Committee (JISC) service that anticipates how technology developments are likely to impact on the future of higher and further education.

The 'Low Carbon Computing: a view to 2050 and beyond' report addresses, for the first time, how UK universities and colleges can use computer technology to help meet future carbon targets set down by recent Government legislation. It is the first report published on the future of low carbon technologies to take into account the Climate Change Act (2008) and Low Carbon Transition Plan (2009).
