Green ICT Standard Promotes Sustainable Development of the Industry

ICT is a combination of information, communication and technology (ICT). It is a new concept and new technology field formed by the integration of information technology and communication technology. It is also an abbreviation of the online tester.

I. ITU Telecommunication Standardization Organization (ITU-T), climate change and environmental protection

Information and communication technologies (ICTs), including satellites, mobile phones, and the Internet, can play a key role in addressing climate change and sustainable development.

At the World Telecommunication Standards Conference (WTSA-12) held in Dubai in November 2012, ITU's 193 member states passed Resolution 73 on ICT, environment and climate change.

By enhancing the understanding of the role of ICTs in solving environmental problems (including climate change issues), ITU-T is committed to promoting the application of innovative ICT solutions to environmental issues and to the development of green ICT standards for future sustainable development.

The ITU-T Study Group 5 is the ITU's main research group on the environment and climate change. Climate change issues (work scope) currently under study include:

Q 13/5 Reducing the environmental impact of e-waste, etc.;

Q 14/5 is a low-cost, sustainable telecommunications infrastructure for rural communications in developing countries;

Q 15/5 ICT and adaptation to climate change;

Q 16/5 Use and improve the environmental sustainability of ICTs;

Q 17/5 Coordination of energy efficiency and environmental standards in the ICT industry;

Q 18/5 ICT Environmental Impact Assessment Method;

Q 19/5 power supply system.

Second, the ICT industry environmental impact assessment method

The ITU-T is developing a standardized set of methods for evaluating the environmental impact of ICTs, including the greenhouse gas emissions of the ICT industry itself and the reductions achieved through the application of green ICT technologies in other industries. The methodology was developed on the basis of cooperation with more than 60 industry organizations such as the United Nations Framework Committee on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP).

The ITU-T L.1400 Recommendations “Overview and Basic Principles of ICT Environmental Impact Assessment Methods” sets out the basic principles for ICT environmental impact assessment and reporting, and lists different methods for evaluating and reporting environmental impacts in the following areas:

a. ICT products, networks and services;

b. ICT project;

c. ICT of the organization;

d. City ICTs (currently being developed during the writing of this report);

e. The ICT of a country or group of countries (it is being developed during the writing of this report).

Recommendation ITU-T L.1410 “Environment impact assessment methods for ICT-related products, networks and services” sets out standard methods for assessing the direct environmental impact of ICT products, networks and services and the indirect effects of non-ICT industry greenhouse gas emissions. This method is based on the standardized Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) method in ISO 14040 and ISO 14044.

Recommendation ITU-T L.1420, “Methods for evaluating the energy consumption and greenhouse gas impact of ICTs in organizations”, standardizes the requirements that organizations should comply with regarding energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions.
