Published: Monday 29 November 2004   

This study by the Institute for Prospective Technological Studies (part of the Joint Research Centre - European Commission) explores (qualitatively) and assesses (quantitatively) the way that ICTs will influence environmental sustainability between now and 2020. It concludes that ICTs can reinforce positive effects on the environment or, on the contrary, worsen the situation.
