ITU NiCE continues to contribute to the ‘Methodology to evaluate the GHG Impact of ICT in Cities' being developed by ITU-T (Q18 , Study Group 5) The City methodology L.1440 for which EC is now chief editor will provide a firm basis in terms of a common methodology and as a result we can develop practical reporting tools based on the emerging methodology. NiCE providing City input via EC and UK routes to L1440 L.1420 on organisations can be used by the public administration
Challenges for L.1440 Practicability for Cities Level of Accuracy Availability of Base Data Access to ICT footprints Positive and Negative ICT impact on footprint City Need
