Improved Collaboration Across Government Agencies Key To Meeting Public Sector ‘Green ICT’ Targets

New research highlights challenges in achieving carbon reduction targets

LONDON, July 2, 2009 – Public sector organisations need increased levels of information, awareness, and a drastic improvement in how they share knowledge with and learn from other public sector agencies, if they are to meet carbon reduction targets imposed by Central Government. These are the key findings according to a new study entitled ‘The Path to Greener Government’, launched today by the independent environmental charity, Global Action Plan and leading networking equipment manufacturer, Cisco.

The survey of over 150 public sector ICT managers explores public sector confidence in meeting the carbon reduction targets set out last year in the Greening Government Information Communication Technology (ICT) Strategy, developed by the UK Government Green iCT Delivery Unit of the CIO Council launched, launched by Tom Watson, the then Minister for Transformational Government.

Check out how different government agencies are using ICT to assist in reducing their carbon footprint, using an array of technologies for collaborative working, it’s great to see how the technologies are being used, and their results in terms of organizational and environmental cost reduction.
