Report of ITU-T Focus Group on ICTs and Climate Change
2Geneva, 13–16 July, 2009 Fostering worldwide interoperability
Background
UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) foresees further rise in average global temperatures of between 1.4 and 5.8°C by the end of the century.
Climate change concerns us all. Requires efforts by all sectors of society, including information and communication technologies (ICTs) sector.
ICTs contribute only ~2.5% of total greenhouse gases. This will grow as use of ICTs expands globally at faster rate than the general economy.
ICTs: Part of the cause of global warming, but can also be part of the solution, e.g., through promoting carbon displacement technologies.
3Geneva, 13–16 July, 2009 Fostering worldwide interoperability
Roles of ITU
Determining how to
1) Reduce energy consumed by ICT equipment and services;
2) Evaluate energy savings of various social activities by using ICTs;
3) Measure climate change;
4) Encourage society to reduce energy by using ICTs; and
5) Promote enlightenment of ICT potential.

Scope of FG-ICT&CC
- Reduction of ICTs’ own emissions over their entire lifecycles (direct impact)
=> Power reduction methods
- Mitigation that follows adoption of ICTs in other relevant sectors (indirect impact)
=> CO2 saving calculation methods

Del. 1: Definitions
Energy consumption reduction through the use of ICTs is defined as the difference between the energy consumption reduction effect by utilizing ICTs and the energy consumption through the use of ICTs.
Purpose of Standardizing Calculation Method
■ To quantitatively calculate the energy reduction through the use of ICTs.
■ To enable ICT users to quantitatively show their contribution when they use ICTs so that they can include that contribution in their CO2 reduction activities.
■ To clarify the contribution of the ICT sector in other sectors. This will make it possible to study
(1) specific measures using ICTs to combat global warming, and(2) the use of ICTs as a CO2 reduction measure in CDM.

Impact of consumption of goods/services
on the environment
Unit energy consumption when one unit of goods/
services is consumed = ×
■ The energy consumption reduction effect by utilizing ICTs can be generally calculated as follows if the consumption of goods/services by utilizing ICTs can be identified.
Del. 3: Methodology
Energy consumption
Amount used bydevice/NW used

The Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications (MIC) of Japan recommend setting environmentally conscious indexes to enable operators to compare energy efficiencies and select products from the twin viewpoints of service provision and emissions reduction.
Del. 2: Gap analysis
“Study Group on ICT Policies for Resolving Global Warming Problems” (MIC [2008.4])
In 2012, ICTs will contribute to a reduction of 38 (= 68-30) million tons of CO2 in ICT and broadcasting sectors.
