This work presents and discusses the latest approaches and strategies for implementing Sustainability and Green IT into higher education and business environments. Following the global financial crisis in 2007/2008, businesses began to struggle coping with the increased IT/IS cost and their environmental footprint. As a consequence, action by universities to incorporate sustainability and ‘Green IT’ as parts of their teaching and learning materials, acknowledging their importance for global and local businesses, is being increasingly implemented. The book addresses the cooperation and coordination between academics and practitioners needed in order to achieve the changes required to obtain sustainability.
Intended for researchers, lecturers and post-graduate students, as well as professionals in the Information Society and ICT and education sectors, and policy makers.
“It is a compilation of texts dealing with the mission of sustainability. Integration of texts from various authors into one edition is always hard work, and the editor plays a crucial role in this process. … it is strongly recommended to universities and the IT community, who should understand the premise that businesses and universities should work together in green IT deployment.” (F. J. Ruzic, Computing Reviews, May, 2018)
