ITU-T Recommendations

Supplement 49 to ITU-T L-series Recommendations provides an updated overview of existing Recommendations and Technical Standards on the topic of adaptation to climate change for ICT networks.
In this context, adaptation has to be understood to have a double meaning:
1) How ICT can help other areas (e.g., transport, buildings) to adapt to climate change challenges and effects;
2) How ICT networks themselves have to be designed and implemented in an ever more resilient way, in order to face climate change's effects (e.g., flooding, stronger winds).
This Supplement takes into account also the work already done on the topic of adaptation to climate change for ICT networks at other Workshops and in academia.
