**North American e-Government Day**

**Notes:**
Let me cover in this brief presentation four topics:

First let me discuss what is the relationship between E-Government and Development.

Let me proceed emphasizing how we link our E-Gov program to the E-Mexico Project that Dr Margain presented yesterday.

Then I want to give you a flavor of what we are doing in E-government that is purposedly linked to development objectives.

And I will finish by reflecting about the ways in which a country like Mexico can leverage technology for the good of its society.

## ICT: Two stories one actor

**ICT: Two stories one actor**

- What we must do with ICT’s components and operations to protect the environment
- 5% of global carbon footprint

- What we can do to protect the environment using and taking advantage of ICT
- Unbelievable !

## Energy

- Digital and Information Era is rapidly expanding ICT contribution to energy consumption
- 65% of energy use is related to office equipment and data centers(1)
- ICT systems are the fastest growing segment of electrical power consumption(2)

- GreenSource Magazine april, 2007
- Information Week february, 2006
- Earthtrends 2003

**USA ****	****7,794 Kgoe/y(3)**
**Canada ****	****8,300.7**
**Mexico****	****1,533.2**

## Computers and devices

- Materials and resources
- 	(intensively used for manufacturing, packing, distribution, delivery, operating, maintenance and disposal at the end of life cycle).
- Data cables and wires are multiplying (400 mts. per employee)
- E-waste is a collateral sub-product
- Universal waste (U-waste) is basically related to technology
- 	(batteries, monitors, equipment, printers, cell phones, telephones, cooling devices, fire suppression systems, etc.)

## Paper

- Regardless of Digital Era, world paper consumption is increasing (1):
- USA 		297.05 Kg. p/y
- Canada 	241.94 Kg. p/y
- Mexico 	             64.81 Kg. p/y
- ICT is (or was?) supposed to lead the paperless office (Government) trend

**(1) Earthtrends 2005.**

## Is Environmental concern just a fashion?

- Corrective actions are times more expansive that preventive ones.
- Damages to environment cost money
- Social responsibility and sustainability need to be embedded within FEA and EA
- Balancing value creation, conservation and destruction

## What are we doing?

**Energy**
- Reduce energy consumption
- Energy efficient infrastructure
- Cooling efficiency
**Waste**
- Planning and Management
- Reuse and recycling
**Paper**
- Rationalize
- Two face printing

## Initiatives Mexico is working on

- NID (National ID number)
- Avoiding vertical integration and expanding nuclear attributes from core
- FIEL (Advanced Digital Signature)
- Wrapping and protecting e-documents
- DI&R (Digital Invoicing and receipts)
- Paper not “owner of truth”
- Digital memo
- Med e-file

## Challenges

- Applicable Law (Compliance)
- Cultural fastenings
- The “touch and hold” paradigm
- Education
- Consciousness
- Responsibility

## What we can do?

**What we can do?**

- Solutions, applications and infrastructure
- The “condominium approach”
- Does each one needs one (1) ?
- Of its own?
- With all correspondent implications?
- Can they share?
- Core standards and shared services?
- SAAS?
- IAAS?

- Commoditization
- Centralization
- Virtualization

**(1) Data Centre, solutions, etc.**

## Is that all?

**Eco-efficiency**
- Eco-responsibility in Government and enterprises
**Eco-innovation**
- Financial results and measurable environmental benefits

## Some examples

- Virtual Collaboration
- Audio conferencing
- WEB Casting
- Videoconference
- Telecommuting
- Telepresence

- Not FTF but still valuable and productive interdependence

## Some examples

- Exponentially increase access and quality of education

**Some examples**

**Public Safety**
- Information
- Monitoring and awareness
- Non presencial **Education**
