1. 5 th ITU Green Standards Week Nassau, The Bahamas 14-18 December 2015 ITU-R studies on Climate Change Vadim Nozdrin, Study Group Counselor, Radiocommunication Bureau, International Telecommunication Union

2. ITU-R Publication Web-page http://www.itu.int/en/publications/ITU-R/Pages/default.aspx

3. presentations of meteorological systems an overview and discussion of technical and operational characteristics: the RF bands employed the criteria of harmful interference the impact of weather data degradation or loss on public safety ITU-R study highlights

4. extensive overview of the use of spectrum by Earth observation radiocommunication applications and related science services 1400- 1427 МГц-ocean salinity considerable societal weight and economic benefits of spectrum use for Earth observation WMO- rate of return 1 to 10 90’s, an efficient warning system could have decreased the economic impact of natural disasters by 240 billions US $ Economic benefits of solar monitoring March 1989, impact of the major power outage in US and Canada about 10 billion US $. Economic benefits of radio astronomy Geodesy, computer language FORTH, Wi-Fi, navigation, radio receiver and antenna Computed Tomography 4

5. ITU-R study highlights Guidelines on the provision of satellite-provided remote sensing data for the purpose of studying climate change Summary of status of major climate variables and forcing factors Protection of science service spectrum SFCG Disaster Management Database 5 https://www.sfcgonline.org/Remote%20Sensing/default.aspx

6. Future ITU-R studies ITU-R Res. 55 “ITU-R studies of disaster prediction, detection, mitigation and relief” new emerging technologies which could support disaster prediction, detection, mitigation and relief, guidelines related to the management of radiocommunications ITU-R Res.60 “ Reduction of energy consumption for environmental protection and mitigating climate change by use of ICT/radiocommunication technologies and systems” best practices in place to reduce energy consumption development and use of radio systems or applications which can support reduction of energy consumption in non-radiocommunication sectors systems for monitoring the environment and predicting climate change Res. COM 6/5 (WRC-15) Space weather sensors Protection of space science bands Intelligent road, railway, maritime and air transport system: safety of life, e- navigation and traffic management Example: traffic congestion costs in Germany-33 mln liters of wasted fuel/day http://www.invent-online.de
