Green ICT Standards Adoption Participation in the ICT standard process gives to contributors the
chance to provide inputs and better understand of the technologies and applications that will become the next market reality.
Good and liable standards help to improve the establishment of regional and national set of technical requirements and ultimately contributes to access safe and interoperable ICT equipment.
Standardization capabilities contributes to reduce the digital divide between the developed and developing worlds.
Increasing the knowledge and capacity of developing countries for the effective application/implementation of standards (Recommendations) developed in ITU-T and ITU-R is fundamental for bridging the standardization gap.
• The activities from ITU Regional Offices and Areas Offices : Tailored capacity building events and assistance to developing countries will increase inputs from developing countries into ICT standards.

Conclusion
Need for policy initiative to promote Green ICT Standards Need to have a national development framework on green ICT or have
green ICT incorporated into the national ICT development framework Government / Public Private strategies / action plans/ projects can serve as
show cases Need for ICT stakeholders to facilitate Green ICT Standards through formal
coordination mechanism involving multiple stakeholders (e.g. National Standardization Secretariat (NSS))
Green ICT Standards would be critical as ICTs get embedded in the society (e.g. Smart Sustainable Cities)
