The document discusses challenges and opportunities for green information and communication technology (ICT) at universities. It finds that the ICT sector accounts for 2% of global CO2 emissions and that university campuses have significant energy usage and costs associated with desktop computers, servers, printers, and other ICT equipment. Regulations and standards are pushing for more sustainable practices. Green ICT agendas over the next decade aim to improve energy efficiency of data centers, desktops, and architectures through technologies like virtualization and remote processing. Further opportunities exist in areas like low-impact materials and renewable energy for data centers.
