- Abstract
- Recently, climate change has emerged as one of the biggest challenges that mankind should cope with. Many efforts to mitigate climate change have been made across nations, international organization, industries and individuals. Information and communication technologies(ICTs) have drawn attention because of their high potential application to mitigate and monitor the climate change. Many industrialized countries and industries have introduced green ICT strategies to tackle climate change problems. Korean government has also tried to pursue green ICT strategies in various perspectives. In this paper, we examine green ICT strategies in Korea and propose some directions for efficient and comprehensive green ICT strategies based on the analysis. While Korea has world-class ICT manufacturing industries and outstanding ICT infrastructure, ICT services industries are weak. Low utilization of ICT in business leads to poor productivity, and besides, this prevents the expansion of green ICT into whole economy and society. Another problem is that the green ICT strategies are sometimes overlapped and inconsistent since they are independently established in various government departments. Strong leadership is needed to establish and carry out consistent and efficient green ICT strategies. In addition, implementation of reliable national GHG inventory and increasing ICT application through the activation of ICT services industries are urgently needed.
