The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) together with the Ministry of Economy and Business and the Secretary of State for Digital Advancement and more than 25 partners is organizing the ninth edition of the Green Standards Week.
The Green Standards Week acts as a global platform where policymakers, field experts, city planners, regulators, standards experts, civil societies, and among others can come together to discuss the role of information communication technologies (ICTs) and frontier technologies in facilitating smart governance and smart sustainable cities.
Themed ‘Connecting Smart Sustainable Cities with the Sustainable Development Goals’, ITU Green Standards Week will bring together governments, city leaders, businesses and citizens to share their experiences in driving the behavioural change required to achieve smart city objectives.
The event also aims to identify the standardization requirements that would accelerate the deployment of ICTs and frontier technologies and to raise awareness on the importance and opportunities that they bring in engineering innovative climate solutions, expediting the transition to smart sustainable cities and unlocking the potential of circular economy.
ITU Green Standards Week will conclude with a full-day training session on the tools available to build smart sustainable cities, tools including international standards for smart cities and circular economy; measurement methodologies to assess cities’ environmental impacts; and the U4SSC Key Performance Indicators for cities to measure the progress of their smart city initiatives.
