Green Digital Action
Digital technologies can help solve the climate crisis. Will you?
The International Telecommunication Union (ITU), together with over 40 partners spanning governments, businesses, civil society and fellow UN agencies, launched Green Digital Action at COP28 to step up digital climate action.
Information and communication technologies (ICTs) play a crucial role in climate monitoring, climate change adaptation and early warning systems; as well as in mitigation measures like boosting energy efficiency, building green networks and developing circular economies. At the same time, the rapid uptake of data and devices increases the sector’s own energy consumption, emissions, material use and e-waste worldwide.
ITU-convened and partner-led, Green Digital Action aims to enhance collaboration, fast-track industry-wide commitments to addressing climate challenges, and put digital solutions at the forefront of climate action.
Participate in our efforts to
- Reduce ICT Sector Emissions
- Foster a circular ICT industry
- Advance climate solutions through open environmental data and technologies
- Build momentum to implement green standards
- Facilitate a green transition across all industries through digital technology and skills development
- Leverage digital systems to ensure life-saving disaster alerts, in line with the UN Secretary-General’s Early Warnings for All Initiative
Fighting the climate crisis requires a coordinated approach
The challenge exceeds the capacity of any single nation, corporation, or institution to tackle independently. Hence, it is imperative that we join forces to minimize the hazards and expenses associated with the transition to environmentally friendly digital infrastructure.
