Purpose The UN forecast of a 3-degree Celsius global temperature increase by 2,100 will exacerbate excessive heat. Population growth, urban densification, climate change and warming contribute to heat waves, which are more intense in high-density environments. With urbanisation, vegetation is replaced impervious materials the island effect. Concurrently, adverse health outcomes heat- related de...

Prior studies argue that information technology (IT) can play an important role toward sustainable and “greener” growth, yet few studies have empirically assessed the adoption and efficacy of green information technology initiatives at the firm level. This study investigates the factors that influence green IT implementation in organizations; and the consequences of the green IT implementation ...
