While the ICT industry is a relatively minor contributor to greenhouse gas emissions, its
footprint today is growing. The challenge to the sector as a whole is to reverse this
trend — and capitalize on its inherent ability to minimize other sectors’ environmental
impacts as well. To date, many eco-efficiency efforts have been ad hoc or unfocused. In this
paper, Alcatel-Lucent focuses on the access portion of the network, identifying specific
instances in which currently available technologies can reduce power consumption and
environmental disruption to achieve measurable, meaningful improvements. By employing
solutions such as these, the ICT industry stands to fulfill its potential of reducing GHG
emissions by 15 percent over the next 10 years.
