Overview
Green ICT is not a legally defined concept. It can be considered to cover a broad range of developments that are by no means limited to legally imposed requirements. This webinar will address: the EU Commission’s recognition of ICT’s role in reducing greenhouse gas emissions; the ICT industry’s voluntary commitment to reduce its own emissions by 20 percent by 2015; and how the EU is pushing development of the smart grid and smart metering. Mr. Pollet will also focus on carbon footprinting and on the eco-design requirements being imposed on an increasing range of products.

Kris Pollet is Director of EU Law & Policy at Pollet Environmental Consulting, an environmental law and policy advisory firm based in Brussels, Belgium. He was previously the head of the EU environmental law & policy practice at the Brussels office of global law firm, White & Case. Before that he worked as policy advisor to two UK Members of the European Parliament, and at the institutional affairs unit within the Secretariat General of the European Commission. He also has significant experience providing advocacy advice in the decision making process of adopting environmental law and policy.
