title: A Method to Measure the Reduction of CO2 Emissions in E-Health Applications.
abstract: Climate change is perhaps the topmost challenge of our time. To prevent climate change from severely impacting almost every facet of life on the planet, scientific consensus points to a need to reduce the emissions of greenhouse gases (GHG), measured in terms of CO<inf>2</inf> equivalents (CO<inf>2</inf>e), by as much as 80 percent by 2050. So far the focus has centered on incremental reductions of CO<inf>2</inf> e emissions in areas in which they are highest, without negatively impacting the economy. But there is also a large untapped opportunity to drive economic growth by applying transformative solutions. In this paper, a method to evaluate CO<inf>2</inf>e reduction in the e-health applications is presented.
