Beyond the mobile industrys own footprint, we provide solutions to help other sectors reduce their emissions through digitisation.As we embark on a fairer, greener recovery from the Covid-19 pandemic, digitisation and climate action will increasingly be two of the biggest global drivers of change. The European Green Digital Coalition, launched in March 2021 by the European Commission, is aimed at supporting decarbonisation through digitisation. Of its 26 founding members, half were from the mobile sector.The mobile industry has long been a leader on climate action. In February 2016, we were the first industry to commit fully to the 17 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Since then, we have been contributing toward achieving every one of the goals while focusing particularly on SDG13 Climate Action.In February 2019 the GSMA Board set an ambition on behalf of the industry to reach net zero carbon emissions by 2050 at the latest. This report is the first annualassessment of how we are doing against this ambitious target. We have come a long way since the Paris Agreement, with 80 per cent of the industry now disclosing to the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP), but we acknowledge there is still more to do.The GSMA invites all of our members to disclose to CDP and align with the UN-backed Race To Zero especially in the run-up to COP26. We are proud to have been recognised by Race To Zero as one of the sectors first to Breakthrough with 36 per cent of the industry, by total revenue, committed to net zero.We all have a role to play if we are going to meet the challenges of the global climate crisis. This report sets out what we the mobile industry are doing and provides case studies to help others along the path to net zero. As we strive to do our part in countries around the world, we also call on those governments to align their carbon reduction targets to net zero by 2050 at the latest and to create suitable energy market frameworks for businesses to access renewable electricity at competitive prices.John GiustiChief Regulatory Officer, GSMA4Mobile Net ZeroForewordsForewordThe mobile industry showed outstanding leadership in being one of the first to align itself to the goals of the Paris Climate Agreement. Rarely has an entire global industry shown such common purpose on climate action. Having over a third of all the worlds mobile operators by revenue committed to net zero and science-based targets places it at the highest levels of private sector ambition. We congratulate all in the industry that have already joined this Race To Zero, and invite all those that havent yet to join us now in a powerful demonstration to national governments of the readiness of the real economy to transform.However, ambition is just the start. This report and its numerous case studies show that the industry knows how to get there. We can feel its relentless drive for energy efficiency matched with an industry-wide switch to decarbonised and renewable energy supply. These twin efforts can deliver up to 80 per cent of the sectors decarbonisation, not only in operators operations but also through their supply chains. This is why, as Climate Champions, we applaud the mobile sector pushing for net zero, setting targets aligned to 1.5C warming. And we have set the challenge for the industry to achieve a crucial Breakthrough in theRace To Zero emissions by 2030: to secure at least 70 per cent of all its electricity globally from decarbonised or renewable electricity sources.The world is already warmer. This industry knows first-hand the impact of increasing extreme weather events and rising sea levels: from more storms in the global north to flooding and drought in the south. Business continuity has always been a priority for this industry, connecting billions of people, growing numbers of enterprises and the internet of things. Never was this more evident than during the global Covid-19 pandemic, and this report shows how the industry is delivering greater resilience, even as it decarbonises.The benefits of this sector go beyond the obvious. We recognise that the mobile industry can positively impact resilience and decarbonisation in sectors other than its own and across society. It is powerful. It can lift much more than it weighs.We welcome the evidence of ambition and action that this report demonstrates, and we are looking forward to seeing exponential progress through COP26 and beyond.Gonzalo MunozNigel ToppingUN High Level ClimateUN High Level ClimateChampions for COP25Champion for COP265Mobile Net ZeroExecutive summaryExecutive SummaryIn February 2019, the GSMA Board comprising members from the largest mobile network operators in the world, set a milestone ambition to transform the mobile industry to reach net zero carbon emissions by 2050, at the latest.To support our climate action journey, the GSMA first created a Climate Action Taskforce with the largest operator groups globally, and then worked with the taskforce on the following three steps:ClimateICT sectorScience-based1disclosure2 pathway 3 targetsClimate disclosure has grown significantly in recent years with 60 operator groups covering around 70 per cent of connections disclosing in 2020. For the ICT sector pathway, this was approved and launched in February 2020, along with clear, step-by-step guidance for operators to align carbon reduction targets to the new pathway.Net Zero BreakthroughAs of April 2021, operators covering 50 per cent of global mobile connections and 65 per cent of industry revenues have committed to science-based targets. A significant proportion of operators have also committed to Net Zero targets by 2050 or before: 31 per cent of global mobile connections and 36 per cent of the industry by revenue has a net zero target, making the mobile sectors one of the first to break through the 20 per cent target as set by the UN Race To Zero campaign.Recent calculations of the mobile industrys carbon emissions estimate them to be around 220 milliontonnes carbon dioxide equivalent (Mt CO2e) per year or approximately 0.4 per cent of total global carbon emissions.The roll-out of a new 5G network will create upwards pressure on operators energy usage to power the new equipment. Data will be transferred using up to 90 per cent less energy though, and with the use of artificial intelligence to power down networks during quiet periods and the retirement of legacy equipment, it is possible to avoid significant increases in energy consumption.Digitisation Enabling DecarbonisationThe biggest contribution the mobile sector can make to climate action, however, is to help other sectors of the economy reduce their carbon emissions through digitisation. Research conducted by the GSMA with the Carbon Trust in 2019 found it enables carbon reductions in other sectors that are 10 times larger, equivalent to approximately 4 per cent of global emissions.GSMA members were among the first companies in the world to embrace renewable electricity. Today nine operator groups are members of the global RE100 campaign and many more operators have renewable electricity targets. There are still challenges around accessing renewables in many countries though, which is slowing the switch.This report is the first analysis by the GSMA of how the mobile industry is progressing against the industry net zero target.In the run-up to COP26 and beyond, the GSMA is calling on all governments to align their carbon reduction targets to net zero by 2050 at the latest, and to create suitable energy market frameworks for businesses to access renewable electricity at competitive prices6Mobile Net ZeroNet zero ambition3Net zero ambition7Mobile Net ZeroNet zero ambitionMOBILENETZEROIn February 2019, the GSMA Board comprising members from the largest mobile network operators in the world, set a milestone ambition to transform the mobile industry to reach net zero carbon emissions by 2050, at the latest.This action by the mobile industry not only made it one of the first sectors in the world to set such an ambitious target, it also put it ahead of all major world economies1. It is not the first time the sector has shown leadership in sustainable development. In 2016, the mobile industry was the first sector to commit to the United Nations 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). When the UN Global Compact was created in July 2000, its founding members included BT Group, Deutsche Telekom, Ericsson and Orange.To support our climate action journey, the mobile industry started by taking the following three steps:ClimateICT sectorScience-based1disclosure2 pathway 3 targetsClimate disclosure has grown significantly in recent years with most of the industry by connections now disclosing their climate impact through. In 2019, 57 operators (67 per cent of the industry by connections) disclosed; in 2020, this increased to 60 operators (69 per cent of the industry by connections and 80 per cent by revenue). This year, the GSMA is working to support even more operators to disclose.The next stage was to agree the pathway for reaching net zero carbon emissions by 2050. This required the GSMA to collaborate with the Global e-Sustainability Initiative (GeSI), the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) and the Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) to calculate and consult on a science-based carbon reduction pathway for not only the mobile sector but for the entire ICT sector. The pathway was approved and launched by the SBTi in February 20202 along with clear, step-by-step guidance for operators to align their carbon reduction targets to the new pathway3.The third stage in the start of our climate action journey has been to help our members align their targets to the new ICT sector pathway and the UN Global Compact Business Ambition for 1.5°C4. 50 per cent of the industry by mobile connections has committed to SBTs and 31 per cent has a net zero target of 2050 or earlier.Not all operators are able to set net zero targets, however. The main hurdles are a lack of equivalent ambition by the countries in which they operate and a lack of access to renewable electricity through national energy grids, which our members rely on to power their networks.In the run-up to COP26 and beyond, the GSMA is calling on all governments to align their carbon reduction targets to net zero by 2050 at the latest, and to create suitable energy market frameworks for businesses to access renewable electricity at competitive prices.This report is the first analysis by the GSMA of how the mobile industry is progressing against the industry net zero target.1 https:/www.gov.uk/government/news/uk-becomes-first-major-economy-to-pass-net-zero-emissions-law2 3 4 https:/unglobalcompact.org/take-action/events/climate-action-summit-2019/business-ambition8Mobile Net ZeroNet zero ambitionOf the industry 69% andby connections 80%by revenuedisclose their climate impacts31% andby connections 36%areby revenuealigned tothe Race ToZero pledge50% andby connections 65%haveby revenuecommitted to Science Based TargetsTarget SettingScience-Based targets (SBTs) - as defined by the Science-Based Targets Initiative to set carbon reduction targets in line with lim
