Green Digital Action @ COP28 Outcomes Focus on Green Standards, GHG emissions, E-waste, etc.

At the COP28, the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) announced the following outcomes of the Green Digital Action:

  1. Green standards: One joint statement announced by World Standards Cooperation, on the importance of sustainability being built into technical standards’ development by design to achieve net-zero. One Action Plan to environmental sustainability standards. implementation.
  2. The UN Early Warnings for All (EW4all) initiative to be implemented by the ICT sector before 2027 that ensure protection for everyone, using cell broadcasts and location-based SMS (Satellite service providers are encouraged to join).
  3. ICT Sector GHG emissions reduction, following the set ICT 1.5°C trajectories.
  4. A project on “E-Waste Management Regulations” led by Saudi Arabia, to help the regulations in Zambia, Rwanda, and Paraguay.

Marking the roadmap and gaps of standardization, the Call to Action document is among the most important technological documents announced by the ITU at COP 28.

Oxford Roadmapping will continue its 【GDAStandard】project to release Green Digital Action toolbox for wider participation in the global efforts。

Shedding light on viable decarbonization paths--Project VisCEADs

The dual-carbon management and service platforms (carbon peak and carbon neutral), or simply smart digital platforms of carbon and GHG emission data, aims to introduce such information into the operations and management of enterprises and government organizations at various levels. They embodies the main task of the “twin transition” or green digital transformation of human activities and interactions with the planet.

How might we define, design and develop such a platform?

This project (visCEADs, or visualization of the Carbon Emission Accounts and Datasets) utilizes the following resources released by various organizations. They provide vital information and best practices for industries and government bodies to achieve “precision decarbonization,” by which Oxford Roadmapping means the viable and actionable actions for GHG reduction based on science-based data:

Held at the same time and site of the UN Climate Conference COP 28, the IEEE Green Tech, Sustainable Development and Net-Zero Policies and Practices 2023 was held. There, Oxford Roadmapping released the “Precision Decarbonization” Interactive Visualization prototype outcomes. The prototype shows the innovative values of using the Carbon Emission Accounting Datasets (CEADs) in the following two domains:

  • Carbon management and service platform
  • Carbon neutrality and its international standards and development

The outcomes will be incorporated, as a use-case, into the Green Digital Action Toolkits, to be released by Oxford Roadmapping’s free-to-use 【GDAStandard】project. It will demonstrate the usefulness of green digital action innovation and standardization for green digital transformation via platform-building.
