Humanity is releasing 50 billion tonnes of Carbon Dioxide equivalents each year and this figure is rising year on year. The IGCC say that anthropogenic greenhouse gasses are contributing to global warming, which will result in widespread water shortages, floods, famines and diseases over the coming decades, as well as better English wines. What role will Information Technology play in responding to this global challenge, and to the opportunities it presents? The speakers will contend that the judicious application of skills and techniques from the world of IT will make a significant impact.
