TWO “ASKS” : 1. Get involved in the ICT 4 EE forum (www. ict 4 ee. eu) 2. Get involved in TAE’s activities (e. g. Durban Technology Mission james. lovegrove@techamerica. org)
(1) ASK #1 = sign-up to the forum
(1. 1) Background ‘Mobilising ICT to facilitate the transition to an energy efficient, low carbon economy’ European Commission, 2009
(1. 2) ICT 4 EE Forum - Launch • Founding Members • 3 Year Roadmap • Steering Committee • 3 Working Groups
ICT 4 EE Forum To. R (1. 3) ICT 4 EE Forum - Aims The overarching aim of the ICT 4 EE Forum is to link Information & Communication Technology more closely to EU climate and energy policies and economic development. 1. Demonstrate the commitment of the ICT sector to work in partnership to deliver energy efficient ICT solutions in other sectors of the European economy and leadership in managing the energy efficiency of its own processes 2. Help ensure a coordinated approach from the ICT sector in Europe to EU policy recommendations on ICT 4 EE and climate and energy policies more broadly 3. Help ensure informed and coordinated policy making in the European Commission, European Parliament and Member States on the ICT 4 EE agenda
(1. 4) ICT 4 EE Forum - Aims Industry’s Platform to… Manage ICT footprint Enable ICT solutions Engage in policy-making
(1. 5) Working Group 1 Manage ICT footprint Measuring the Energy Efficiency of ICT Processes • WG 1 work phases: – Scoping – Methodology framework – Reporting – Target setting

(1. 11) Poliwiki Project: A breakthrough digital channel for government business engagement The Challenge: . The Proposed Solution: Project “Poliwiki” The ICT 4 EE Forum is a group of world leading businesses and industry The strength of the IT to ET method is: bodies, collectively representing 500+ enterprises. It’s broad objective is to § it directly addresses many of the challenges faced by the ICT 4 EE Forum, facilitate the delivery of ICT enabled products and services to help deliver in terms of openness, transparency and standards/quality. Europe’s much need shift toward energy efficiency. One of the ways in which the forum is supporting this transition is to facilitate: The weakness of the IT to ET, at present, is: § the analyses delivered to date represents the collective insights of Dr § more intelligent analyses of national and international energy and Thomond’s team, not the collective intelligence of a forum representing environment policy, and 500+ leading businesses; moreover § sharper engagement between industry and policy makers to deliver smarter policies and smarter business action. The challenge for the Forum to achieve its objective it has to overcome a great deal of complexity in the most efficient, engaging and sustainable manner. However, there are many voices with many opinions regarding policies, there are no standard methods by which to assess or track the effectiveness of individual policies or the use of common policy instruments across regions, and when methods are employed, there is little to no transparency regarding how analyses are completed (i. e. , how conclusions are formed), or the degree to which conclusions represent the views of a single influential person or the consensus of a multitude of stakeholders. As part of the IT to ET project, Dr Peter Thomond and his team at Imperial College London have created a policy analysis method that delivers open, transparent, standardised and intelligent analyses of national and international energy and environment policy. The outcome is a ‘traffic light analysis’ of policies to quickly flag unsupportive policies or policy instruments. The Imperial team has successfully tested and refined the method at a high level on individual policies from seven countries. § whilst the analysis can be made open upon request, it is not yet offered on an open engaging platform through which other stakeholders and governments can join the debate. Therefore, the ICT 4 EE Forum faces opportunity: Rather than reinventing the wheel, or maintaining the it’s current opaque approach, the ICT 4 EE Forum can piggy back on the achievements of the IT to ET method and invest in its development to ensure it serves the Forum’s own ends. This can happen in four steps. 1. Invest to transform the current excel based process into a web-based wiki platform – the foundation for an digital forum. 2. Enable Dr Thomond’s team to share their analyses and integrate the Forum’s existing analyses onto the forum. 3. Launch the forum to a closed audience – the ICT 4 EE Forum - to tap the collective intelligence of its members by crow-sourcing its first standard, transparent policy analyses (the Imperial Team will moderate and support the analyses and full engagement process). 4. At an agreed point the Imperial Team will drawn together a big picture implications report and the ICT 4 EE Forum will use this to open the digital forum to policy makers to engage their expertise The outcome will be the first premier digital channel, the Wikipedia of policy analysis and business-Governmental debate. Investment needed to achieve this 29, 500 Euros.

Define campaign: define objectives, design scope of participation (who should be in your crowd), define the challenges to be posed to the crowd (so you don’t to fall for the dangers of crowd sourcing), select and modify appropriate crowd sourcing platform (to ensure value for money and reliability). Step 2. Initiate and launch: design and ready the portal/platform; design and deliver communications packages; launch the portal. Step 3. Manage the campaign monitor portal (policing fair use and respectful behaviour); deliver catalyst interventions to drive the effectiveness of the process. Steps 4. Aggregate and analyse user input evaluate campaign, create high-level action plans (e. g. converting ideas into high-level project plans/proposals). Step 5. Next steps adopt, adapt, refine action plans; communicate outcomes with users; convert key users into the new social network that will act as catalysed change agents to deliver

§ Our focus: Cloud Computing – it’s carbon impact, likely adoption and the role of policy in four EU countries: France, Germany, Sweden and UK. § Our approach: to develop ‘open’ methodologies and models; leverage data and expertise from our partners; build upon prior work (e. g. Ge. SI). § Our key findings from shifting 3 applications from ‘on-premise’ to Cloud ‒ Dramatic reduction in numbers of servers = significant reduction energy consumption • Small/micro firms represent 60% of savings ‒ Akin to reducing ICT’s carbon footprint by 5% ‒ Energy mix more influential than PUE Consultants CO 2 e Millions of Tonnes (2. 1) Executive Summary - Extract Approx 90%
(2. 2) What can Policy Makers do to Drive Adoption? Extract Each of our four countries guide or provide broad incentives for general energy efficiency. Key : >Climate Change Levy 2001 >Greening Government ICT Strategy >Energy Act 2008 e. g. The UK >Climate Change Act 2008 >Low Carbon Transition Plan >Low Carbon Industrial Strategy >Climate Change Agreements >Carbon Reduction Commitment / CRC Energy Efficiency Scheme Creates direct incentives for the adoption of Cloud Computing Creates direct incentives or enforceable regulation for energy/carbon emissions reduction (such as a price on carbon or new compliance standards) Sets target that directly place energy/carbon reduction on the corporate agenda Only indirectly places energy/carbon reduction on the corporate agenda Consultants • Policy is broadly supportive o However, it is so “at 10, 000 feet” • Can policy makers have a more direct impact?
(2. 3) Several broad ‘mega trends’ favour shift to the cloud - - Extract Most social and economic mega trends support the adoption of Cloud Computing, but none will make a decisive difference on their own Global Economic Turbulence Sustainability Movement Rise of Social Technologies Globalisation Supportive trends Rise of Mobile Technologies Commoditisation Privacy and Data Protection Concerns Unsupportive trends Note: A number of trends that support the adoption of Cloud Computing are also likely to drive the growth of the ICT sector, therefore, increasing Carbon Emissions.
