This report proposes solutions for the cement industry which is responsible for 8% of global CO2 emissions. It describes a scenario in which the industry sector grows to more than twice its size in volume by 2050 while it reduces its absolute CO2 emissions by approximately three quarters compared to global emissions in 2007.
This report gives a clear picture of the key role that the ICT industry plays in addressing climate change globally and facilitating efficient and low carbon development.
