Resolution of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) Council on the environment
The ITU Council met this year to try to reach a consensus on important telecommunications policy issues, including support for Ukraine and satellite interference from Russia, and the reconstruction of telecoms infrastructures in Palestine led by Saudi Arabia. France, which is presiding over the Council in 2024, took advantage of the meeting to promote “Green Digital Action” by proposing a resolution recognising electronic communications’ impact on the environment, and having ITU members pool their environmental data, to help mitigate that impact.
Very proactive on this issue, Arcep (as part of France’s ITU delegation) hosted a satellite event on digital technologies’ environmental footprint. Arcep Board member, Xavier Merlin, gave a presentation on the issues and the work that Arcep is doing in this area. At the end of these discussions, ITU adopted France’s resolution. Although approved in less ambitious terms than the original proposal, Arcep views this resolution as a first crucial step towards seeing this issue taken into account by the ITU’s three sectors. -
