Green ICT is understood as an initiative to
encourage stakeholders engaged in ICT activities to address
environmental problems and find solutions to them. The UK is
one of the first countries to focus on Green ICT in form of
governmental strategies and policies. The UK public sector,
including UK HEIs, is under pressure to implement Green
ICT. Although the UK government encourages HEIs to work
on Green ICT, there has not been a comprehensive review of
existing Green ICT policies and strategies devised by UK
HEIs. This paper first reviews the concepts of Green ICT, and
presents a framework to analyse Green ICT strategy, practice,
and measurement in UK HEIs. This is followed by the analysis
of evolution of Green ICT practices in UK HEIs based on webbased data collection in 2009 and 2011.
