Zusammenfassung

Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) sector takes a leading role in the new Economy experiencing an unprecedented growth rate. The author discusses environmental impacts focusing on resource consumption. In spite of increasing miniaturisation and resource efficiency of electronic products their consumption is growing threatening to give rise to rebound effects in material and energy consumption. The author addresses the problem and complexity of both direct and system-level effects from the ICT sector and discusses the role of government in coping with the potential environmental impacts.
