Contribution :	While ICTs are an important element in achieving a sustainable earth, particularly in mitigating and adapting to climate change, and reducing overall emissions of greenhouse gases, they are also contributors to greenhouse gas emissions, as well as a significant contributor to e-waste, and they will very soon produce/be a source of space debris due to the massive sending of satellites to low earth orbit space. UNEP's response attempts to look at both the great contribution emerging ICTs can offer in achieving a sustainable earth, and the potential harm they may bring to the planet if not handled well.
