Without “immediate, rapid and large-scale reductions of all greenhouse gases,” global average temperatures are all but certain to reach more than 1.5 °C above pre-industrial levels, the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) warned this week. This will gravely endanger the health and livelihood of humanity around the world.

That warning should prompt businesses and governments to redouble their efforts to reduce emissions, including those caused by their IT systems. This is already a high priority for technology leaders: 71% of respondents to Tech Monitor’s Tech Leaders Agenda survey report that their IT function has a dedicated sustainability strategy, and 84% are focused on improving the efficiency of IT infrastructure.
