Reflections are only that, reflections, nothing more nothing less. Often these reflections are related to books I read, but occasionally also other things. These are often written very late, very fast, using notes from my mobile phone, so the grammar and spelling is horrible.
Using disruptive Web and mobile solutions to deliver transformative reductions of CO2- A workshop to identify key tools for a low carbon society.
Here is the report "Technology in a Cold Climate". The report is the conclusion of the RSA's Technology in a Cold Climate project. Here is a link to my contribution, "The Day Technology Saved the Planet - Transformative Solutions in a Time of Crisis", to the report.
Here is an article I wrote about the post-Copenhagen situation "Companies and a low carbon economy: The revolution from pre-Kyoto to post-Copenhagen" in the new issue of CII's magazine "Sustainability Tomorrow".
It discusses how different groups of companies have moved between pre-Kyoto and post-Copenhagen. It shows a clearly increased polarization in the climate discussion. One group focus mainly on problems and incremental improvements among the major emitters (this is the old environmental discussion dominated by oil/coal/car companies with many western environmental NGO's together with staff from ministry of environment). The other group focus mainly on opportunities, transformative change for global equity and how new smart solutions can be provided (this is the new emerging group with entrepreneurs, solution companies/high-tech companies, development NGO's + parts of the environmental organizations).

A report, "Case Study Digest ICT: Greening the Public Sector" from Intellect, with good low carbon ICT case studies. Would be interesting to use some 20th vs. 21st Century infrastructure calculation to calculate the savings from these solutions.
Here is a link to the "From Fossil to Future" report that include a discussion about why "a single minded focus on absolute reduction targets of CO2 from ICT would obviously not be very strategic and could be counterproductive".
