Session Description

From 2019 to 2022, global internet traffic more than doubled, yet mobile operators successfully reduced combined Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 6%, highlighting their leadership in climate action. As the global demand for data surges, propelled by increasing needs of generative AI, the telecommunications industry faces further pressure to enhance eco-efficiency. However, applying AI capabilities to big data sets for energy efficiency enhances energy consumption management across networks, resiliency and predictability. This session will explore the role of energy efficiency as a crucial stepping stone to achieving net zero, examining how AI can be leveraged to analyse sustainability metrics, and discussing the importance of concerted action between operators, suppliers, and governments to meet climate targets.
