As we publish our second annual assessment of the mobile industry’s performance against its net zero ambition, we are pleased to see that a growing number of operators and suppliers are accelerating their efforts. Given the urgency of the need to work towards a net zero carbon future1, it is essential that ambition be followed through with tangible action. The last 12 months have seen a decoupling of data traffic, electricity use and carbon emissions. While the mobile industry has continued to see double-digit growth in data traffic, our environmental impacts have grown at a much slower pace. This is a positive sign which shows the industry is moving in the right direction. Yet, continued efforts are needed to both prevent emissions rising and to rapidly decrease them.
