ICT for e-Environment Toolkit and the e-Environment Readiness Index (EERI)

Abstract: 
Aims to help developing countries, communities, jurisdictions and organizations use ICT technology to reduce energy consumption and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The toolkit must consider the readiness assessment, using the e-Environment Readiness Index (EERI), to determine if developing nations are ready for ICT as a means to mitigate climate change. Measures the impact of ICT use on climate change and GHG emissions. A stepping stone towards more research and a greater understanding of ICT technology's effect on the climate and GHG emissions.
