How will 5G impact telcos' carbon footprint? -ICT sector is responsible for between 3% and 4% of global CO2 emissions,
Boston Consulting Group (BCG) reports that although today the ICT sector is responsible for between 3% and 4% of global CO2 emissions, fast growth in global data traffic means this figure could reach 14% by 2040, unless the industry takes significant steps to address its environmental impact.
Currently, the ICT and communications sectors are not the worst offenders, according to a Net Zero Tracker created by MSCI, which provides decision support tools and services to global investors.
