In his paper, Prof. Schellnhuber underlined the importance of information and telecommunication technology (ICT): “Climate changes with virtually insurmountable consequences can only be avoided if we successfully balance flourishing prosperity with driving down greenhouse gas emissions ever further. This enormous project of global significance requires all avenues for increasing energy efficiency to be exploited with state-of-the-art technologies. The ICT sector in particular can make an invaluable contribution to achieving this.” Prof. Hans Joachim Schellnhuber, Director of the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research was interviewed by trainees Paul and Julia at the Deutsche Telekom Corporate Responsibility Day in Berlin in July 2009.
