Turning digital technology innovation into climate action

                      Therefore, as also mentioned previously in the context of frontier technologies to combat climate
                      change, the true impact of renewable energy consumption on climate change must be measured
                      and analysed over a meaningful period of time.

                      To achieve this, ITU established a Focus Group on "Environmental Efficiency for Artificial Intelligence
                      and other Emerging Technologies" (FG-AI4EE) at the ITU-T Study Group 5 meeting in Geneva on May
                      22, 2019.  Box 4 explains the mandate and mechanisms of this Focus Group.
