Event Details
Join us to explore the US’s role in SMART 2020, and how US innovation can enable local and global climate change
Event Background
A recently released research report* predicts that the IT sector could help other industries reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 15% and deliver savings of over $750 billion to the global economy by 2020.
How? By collaborating with other industries to deliver energy efficiency through innovative solutions such as smart logistics, smart buildings and smart grid technologies.
Join us for an intriguing dialogue that will explore this tremendous opportunity – and the public policy needed to support it. We will also present details of a new, follow up study conducted by The Boston Consulting Group on behalf of GeSI which details specific US policy recommendations.
* SMART 2020: Enabling the low carbon economy in the information age, published by The Climate Group and McKinsey & Company on behalf of the Global e-Sustainability Initiative.
