Mobile Sector<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

In February 2019 the GSMA Board, comprising members from the largest mobile network operators in the world, set a milestone ambition \u2013 to transform the mobile industry to reach net zero carbon emissions by 2050, at the latest. Our first step was to understanding how to get there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There was no pathway for the ICT sector in line with the Paris Agreement. So we collaborated with the ITU, GeSI and SBTI to create a climate action roadmap to net zero by 2050, launched in February 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our next steps were disclosure and aligning targets. By COP26 in November 2021, the majority of mobile network operators, by revenue, are both disclosing their climate impacts each year, and are committed to rapidly reduce those impacts over the next ten years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our members are now focussing on achieving these targets by improving the energy efficiency of their networks, investing in renewable energy for power, engaging with suppliers on reducing their emissions, and helping customers make sustainable choices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
