TelecomTV reports from the final week of COP15 and speaks with the Secretary General of the ITU about the future role of ICT.

I attended the Copenhagen Conference and presented my view on how investments in ICT could help mitigate climate change, and in particular reduce/limit carbon emissions. My speech is available at www.analysysmason.com. I believe ICT has a good chance to be more widely recognised as a focal point for climate change adaptation and mitigation. In particular, from today until 31 JANUARY 2010, all developing countries (Annex II) must submit, as part of the Copenhagen Accord, a set of mitigation actions - to be included as Annex 2 of the Accord. ICT players should approach Heads of States in developing countries to explain the merit of ICT investments, for social and economic development and carbon emission reductions.
