Summary: Mitigating and adapting to climate change are global issues and developing solutions to enable effective adaptation and early warning becomes important. One of the key aspects for developing the innovative solutions is the availability of highly stable environmental monitoring data. The meteorological organizations work on realizing the stable and fine grained collection of the global environmental conditions. To achieve the goal, it is necessary to deploy a large number of environmental sensing stations, which requires large amount of efforts. ICT sites are good candidates to resolve such an issue due to their global distribution, reliable power, network communications, and maintenance, and availability of poles and towers to host various environmental sensors. This Recommendation presents a set of rules for installing the environmental sensing system on ICT sites in order to utilize the ICT sites as environmental sensing stations.
