ITU-T and Climate Change:
Setting the Standard
FG on ICT&CC concluded with 4 Deliverables in March
2009.
Inputs from non-ITU members (e.g., academia) were also
taken into considerations
Mandate of SG5 was expanded at the last TSAG (28-30
April 2009)
New SG5 title: Environment and climate change
SG5 created a new WP 3/5
All SGs examining impact of recommendations on
climate change
SGs developing standards for new energy efficient
technologies
E.g. SG-13 on Next Generation Networks
NGN estimated to be 40% more energy efficient

ITU-T: Building Knowledge
on Climate Change
Res. 73 WTSA-08): ITU Member States
recognized important role of ICTs in
addressing climate change
ITU-T issued major Technology Watch Reports on Climate
Change and positive impact of new technologies
Next Generation Networks, Intelligent Transport Systems, etc
Organizing Major Symposia on ICT and CC
2008: Kyoto and London
2009: Quito and Seoul (virtual event)
ITU-T pioneering energy efficient work
methods
Paperless meetings, on-line work tools, etc.
ITU-T leading Dynamic Coalition on Internet
and Climate Change as part of IGF
8-10 July 2009

Challenges
Develop a methodology to measure
impact of ICTs as part of national GHG
reduction programs
Identify priority sectors where ICTs can
reduce emissions (e.g. smart buildings
Grow the ICT industry in an
environmentally friendly manner
Disposal of ICTs

Deliverables from
FG on ICT&CC
Deliverable 1: Definition
Defines the terms needed to analyze the major
relationships between ICTs and Climate Change
Deliverable 2: Gap analysis and standards roadmap
Shows ongoing work (done by ITU, other standard bodies,
universities, etc.) and future study issues
Deliverable 3: Methodologies
Covers the assessment of ICT sector’s emission over the
entire life cycle of ICT devices
Also covers reducing other sector’s emission by the use of
ICT
Deliverable 4: Direct and Indirect Impact of ITU
Standards
Provides tools and guidelines to evaluate the reduction of
emission of ICT sector and of other sector by the use of
ICT

Joint Coordination Activity (JCA)
Established at the last TSAG meeting (28-30 April
2009)
Objectives:
To co-ordinate across ITU-T SGs (in particular SGs 5,
9, 13, 15 and 16), and with ITU-R and ITU-D.
To seek co-operation from external bodies including
non-ITU member organizations
Convener
Mr. Ahmed Zeddam (France)
Co-convener
Mr. Dave Faulkner (UK)
Invitations for the first meeting during the next
SG5 meeting (Oct. 2009) to various bodies to be
sent shortly
8-10 July 2009

Next Steps/Actions
Stimulate correspondence activities (e.g.,
on Universal Charging Solution) toward
the next SG5 meeting (Oct. 2009) so that
Contributions will be submitted
appropriately
Identify areas which need collaboration
through JCA activities
Plan WP/Question level meeting after the
next SG5 meeting to accelerate progress
