How we currently live, in both developed and emerging economies, consumes more resources than nature can provide. How we utilize these resources is also altering our environment in directions, that some fear, are irreversible. Global climate change; water, mineral, energy, and land resource scarcities; biodiversity decline; acid rain; hazardous and toxic substance poisoning; and many other environmental ills will influence how we live and survive in both the short- and long-term. These concerns require us to reconsider how we produce, consume, and use products, services, and technology. Sustainability requires considering both the needs of this generation and future generations. In this special issue we begin with setting this environmental sustainability foundation for the remainder of the papers by including a fundamental issues article by Rajendra Kumar Pachauri (2013), Chairman of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC, the Nobel Peace Prize winning organization). …

We distinguish between IS and IT and thus Green IS and Green IT. An IS is an integrated and cooperating set of people, processes, software, and information technologies to support individual, organizational, or societal goals (Watson et al. 2010).
