Aiming for net zero<\/strong><\/p>\n While tech supports climate solutions in practically every industry, tech companies must also put their own house in order \u2013 a message we made loud and clear during COP28. We have intensified our advocacy for industry-wide decarbonization in line with science-based targets, aiming to put global tech on the path to net-zero emissions. \n Learn more <\/a>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

Building a circular economy<\/strong><\/p>\n Waste electrical and electronic equipment, or e-waste, is among the world\u2019s fastest growing environmental challenges. Yet discarded devices contain a wealth of recoverable materials, potentially worth over USD 62\u00a0billion per year. With partners worldwide, ITU is promoting e-waste regulation as a key step towards circularity in the global digital value chain. \n Learn more <\/a>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

Setting environmental standards<\/strong><\/p>\n Embracing international standards can boost energy efficiency, reduce costs, and create new business opportunities. ITU standards \u2013 established through broad, inclusive technical collaboration \u2013 show how to comprehensively measure our own industry\u2019s climate and environmental impact, as well as how digital technologies can help reduce impact in other sectors. \n Learn more <\/a>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/section>\n\n\n
