Environment and climate change
Active in the area of climate change for well over a decade, ITU is now making climate change a key priority, with strategies to:
Reduce the environmental impact of climate change through:
-
The creation of a standard methodology for calculating carbon footprint;
-
The promotion of next-generation networks (NGNs) (reducing power consumption by up to 40%); and
-
Publishing online rather than in print.
Harness the power of ICTs through:
-
Remote collaboration;
-
Intelligent transport systems; and
-
Sensor-based networks based on RFID and telemetry.
Monitor climate change by:
-
-
Conducting and managing studies on remote-sensing; and
-
Providing key climate data via radio-based applications.
