The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) launched the Dynamic
Coalition on Internet and Climate Change (DCICC) in 2007 as an open body
committed to moderating the environmental impact of the Internet, to seeking new
ways to embrace the power of the Internet for reducing greenhouse gas emissions
worldwide, and to enabling transformation in line with the objectives set and to
be set under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC).
The next DCICC meeting will be held in Vilnius, Lithuania on 16 September 2010, during the 5th annual Internet Governance Forum (IGF). Additional information can be found here.
