The Next Generation Mobile Networks Alliance (NGMN Alliance), an open forum founded by leading mobile network operators, has announced the establishment of methodologies and KPIs for what it calls a Global Green Networks Benchmark.
NGMN calls for an alignment of the entire mobile communications sector to address sustainability
ICT industry must reduce emissions by 45% by 2030 to help keep temperature rise to 1.5c
The Next Generation Mobile Network Alliance (NGMN Alliance) says it’s seeking to align the entire mobile communication sector - from component manufacturers to service providers - to address sustainability challenges together in line with the ITU L.1470 Standard. This recommends that, if the ICT industry is going to meet the requirements laid out by the Paris Agreement on climate change, it will have to collectively reduce its emissions by 45% by 2030 and thus do its bit to limit the global temperature increase to 1.5c.
