Linking ICT with climate action for a low-carbon economy Johan Wibergh Executive Vice President, Networks Ericsson

Leveraging investments in broadband to address climate change. Recommendations for policy makers and global leaders to accelerate global progress towards a low-carbon economy.

The Broadband Bridge - Report highlights Transformative potential of Broadband and ICTs as a solution to mitigate and adapt to climate change. Pioneering projects and innovation from private sector and international organizations. Government best practices 10 recommendations for global leaders and policy makers to turn vision into action for a low carbon, sustainable future.

Ericsson’s Traffic and Market Report Mobile subs 6.2 billion in 2012, and by 2017: – 85 % of the world's population will have 3G coverage; 50 % will be covered by 4G – Smartphone subscriptions: 3 billion expected – Global data traffic to grow 15 times by the end of For many, the mobile phone will be the only means of accessing the internet.

Infrastructure for a low carbon economy ICT can reduce 15% of global CO 2 emissions by 2020, a German study predicts 25% Our smart work study with Telia Sonera shows 40% of employee CO 2 emissions can be avoided, which corresponds to 2-4% of Sweden’s total CO 2 emissions Our just published study with Verizon, DT, BT, GeSI and the Yankee Group shows CO 2 savings from telecommuting in the US are the same as the total primary energy consumed by Switzerland in a year Digital delivery of music can reduce CO 2 emissions by up to 90%, compared to CDs. The same thinking can be applied to many other digitally consumed services Better fleet management cuts fuel costs and travel time and reduces emissions Source: Ericsson

Broadband and Rio+20 The Broadband Commission Call to Action addresses Rio+20 and urges the conference to include broadband in future the Sustainable Development Goals. Investments in broadband facilitate sustainable development and economic productivity Failure to invest sufficiently in broadband will expose developing countries to risks of exclusion from the economic and social benefits To deliver transformational emission reductions, more engagement of private sector is critical, as is supporting government planning and policies.
