ITU-T - L.1481

Guidance on how to address the Connect 2030 targets on net greenhouse gas abatement

active, Most Current
Organization: ITU-T
Publication Date: 1 December 2022
Status: active
Page Count: 14
scope:

This Recommendation provides guidelines on how to address the Connect 2030 sustainability target 3.4, which states: "By 2023, net telecommunication/ICT-enabled greenhouse gas abatement should have increased by 30% compared to the 2015 baseline". Such effects are referred to as second order effects in [ITU-T L.1410] and [ITU-T L.1480].

This Recommendation aims to complement [ITU-T L.1410] and [ITU-T L.1480] by providing guidance on how to address target 3.4, which deals with aggregated second order effects.

Hence, this Recommendation aims to propose a way forward towards a deeper understanding of how to increase and quantify ICT's second order effects.

This Recommendation is intended to be utilized by relevant stakeholders to address the Connect 2030 ambitions, while considering the SDG 13 goal and the objectives of the Paris Agreement.
