Abstract :

While the environmental impact of ICTs is the subject of several calls for action, launched notably by the United Nations, the ITU is in a unique position to address these issues, which need to be further formalized at the Council.
To consolidate ITU role in facilitating ICT contribution to climate action and environmental sustainability, we propose a resolution which captures:
- ITU's key role in bringing stakeholders together to build common solutions;
- existing ITU initiatives and great potential for further action;
- role and responsibility of ICTs stakeholders in the fight against climate change and for environmental sustainability.
