The UK is the first country in the world to introduce a legally binding framework for tackling climate change and the implications of this are likely to be far reaching for the public sector. Over the coming years targets will be set, carbon emission budgets agreed and strategies and plans announced: all with the overall goal of cutting the UK's emissions by 80% of 1990 levels, by 2050. What will this mean for the ICT sector, and in particular for those responsible for information services in higher and further education?

This new report from JISC TechWatch, "Low carbon computing: a view to 2050 and beyond", attempts to answer that question, outlining a technology roadmap for moving to a more energy efficient information systems infrastructure.
