Ericsson.
The 5G switch made easy.
Exponential Roadmap 1.5 Project

•
The remaining carbon budget for a 1.5°C future is falling 10% each year we fail to act.
We should be nervous.
But the window of opportunity is still open.
”
• While this scale of transformation is unprecedented, the speed is not.

Digitalization as enabler of exponential climate action
• ICT is the wildcard of
decarbonization
• ICT can enable 15% carbon
reduction by 2030 with
established technologies
• ICT influences the decisions of 3
billion producers and
consumers every day
• Huge potential of 5G, IoT and AI
to enable efficiency when
decarbonizing all sectors ● 15% refers to a high usage scenario for established technologies.
● Potentials for 5G, AI and IoT multiplies the efficiency

5G and Climate action study in Zurich
• The selected use cases which benefit from 5G • 5G mobile networks are expected to cause 85% less
networks can avoid GHG emissions between 0.1 and GHG emissions per unit of transmitted data than 2-4G
2.1 Mt CO2e mobile networks in 2020
• If 5G network capabilities are systematically utilized, • If the expected data traffic in 2030 would be
there will be significant potential for GHG abatement transmitted only via 4G mobile networks, it can be
in other sectors by 2030 (and beyond) assumed that GHG emissions caused by mobile
networks would be higher
