HomeIdentifying common indicators for measuring the environmental footprint of electronic communications networks (ECNs) for the provision of electronic communications services (ECSs)
Metadata o publikaci
Information and Communications Technologies (ICT) in general and telecommunications networks in particular can play an important role in the green digital transition of the EU’s economy and society. However, telecommunications also create sustainability impacts related to climate, energy and environmental aspects in their lifecycle. Notwithstanding technological evolution, these impacts may grow in the future due to the increase of traffic demand and pervasiveness of telecommunications networks in everyday life, which require a significant amount of energy for transmission and computing tasks. In turn, such energy demands generate significant greenhouse gas emissions in the various operational activities of the telecommunications network. Telecommunications networks are also extensive and complex ICT infrastructures composed of thousands of electronic components, which may pose significant challenges for e-waste and circular economy. To address these aspects, the Commission’s 2022 Digitalising the Energy System Action Plan sought to explore the possibility to develop common indicators for measuring the environmental footprint of electronic communications services, which is the purpose of this JRC report. The identification and analysis of the main sustainability indicators is to prepare the ground for a future Code of Conduct for telecommunications networks – a related task under the Digitalising the Energy System Action Plan.
