摘要

本文弥补了电信监管者对其政策决定对气候影响认识上的一个重要缺陷,并强调了宽带技术在减少温室气体排放(GHGe)方面的巨大潜力。经验证据表明,宽带可实现约 15-20% 的温室气体减排,鉴于其直接排放量相对较低,约占全球排放量的 0.4-1.0%,这是一个显著的效率。这一分析证实了有效的电信政策是强有力的气候政策这一前提。本文主张在全球范围内调整电信政策和气候政策,提倡采用综合方法,承认这些部门之间深刻的相互依存关系。主要政策建议包括为农村地区的宽带提供有针对性的补贴、战略性频谱分配,以及全面激励消费者、行业和政府采用绿色技术。其目标是促使重新评估政策框架,敦促发达经济体充分利用数字基础设施的潜力来应对气候变化。

From broadband adoption to climate action: Key considerations in the development of climate policies across OECD countries

This paper addresses a critical gap in telecom regulators' awareness of the climate impact of their policy decisions and highlights the substantial potential of broadband technology to reduce greenhouse gas emissions (GHGe). Empirical evidence shows that broadband can achieve a GHGe reduction of approximately 15–20%, a notable efficiency given its relatively low direct emissions of around 0.4–1.0% of global emissions. This analysis substantiates the premise that effective telecom policy serves as robust climate policy. The paper argues for a global alignment of telecom and climate policies, advocating for an integrated approach that acknowledges the deep interdependencies between these sectors. Key policy recommendations include targeted subsidies for broadband in rural areas, strategic spectrum allocation, and comprehensive incentives for green technology adoption across consumers, industries, and governments. The goal is to prompt a reevaluation of policy frameworks, urging advanced economies to harness the full potential of digital infrastructure to combat climate change.
