 So we're here at the ITU in Geneva, and I'm very pleased to be joined by Victoria Sucanik, who's the Chairman of Study Group 5 on Environment and the Circular Economy. Victoria, welcome, and thank you very much indeed for joining us here today. Hello Fred, how are you? And thank you for giving us this place to talk about our work here in ITU. It's a pleasure, pleasure. So here we are at the start of a new study period, and congratulations on your chairmanship. Could you please explain to our viewers the work of Study Group 5 and where we might see it at play in our daily lives? Yes, of course. As you've mentioned, we've started a new period, and in this period we are dealing with not only climate change phenomena, but also with circular economy, and our lead roles within ITUT is related to resistibility, to electromagnetic compatibility, electromagnetic fields, and also, as I mentioned, climate change, adaptation, and mitigation. And maybe one example I can give you is one of our last recommendations. As you know, our main task is to deliver international standards, which are called recommendations within ITUT. And one of the last ones we've delivered is for the fisheries sector. Maybe you will find it a bit strange because we are in the ICT sector, but we know climate change is affecting natural resources, and we aim to help giving some tools related to ICT to the other sectors of the economy. And one of our last recommendations was related to that. Okay, very interesting. And you mentioned the responsible management of electromagnetic fields. Can you please explain of work taking place in your Study Group in relation to this domain? Yes, electromagnetic fields is quite an important topic within our group, especially in its relation to human exposure to EMF, because it's a sensitive topic. People are really worried about the infrastructure deployment. They are worried because of the effects on their health. And our main task there is to give people and governments the elements, the tools in order to monitor and to control these effects and to show people that they are under control. Let's say that we apply with the WHO levels that are the ones that the world should apply. And in that sense, we have a series of recommendations, too, that it has to do with K83, 91, 113. As I mentioned, they are tools for governments and also for the industry and for people in general for the community to have in real time the monitoring of the EMF in their cities. And the second half of your name is circular economy. Can you please explain this concept and how does the work of the Study Group contribute to the circular economy? Yes, this is the last topic we have added to our study group. This was agreed during the last WGSA conference. And in circular economy, what we deal with is circularity, meaning both from sharing until recycling products or materials. And in that sense, circular economy also includes e-waste. E-waste is just one part of the whole process in which you can include, as I mentioned, sharing, reuse, refurbishing and recycling of products. And in that sense, we are also already approved some recommendations related to giving some steps, some recommendations to the industry related to the supply chain, which steps they should take in order to attend circularity. And in e-waste, we are also delivering several recommendations and now we are trying to start working on the inventories on e-waste because in order to reduce e-waste, that is our main task that has been the objective, the target that we receive from the Connect 2020 and also from the Sustainable Development Goals and our main task is to reduce e-waste. But for that, first, we need to make the inventories and we are working on that. And, you know, another important component of sustainability is energy efficiency. Can you please explain how some of your work or standards in your group contribute to energy efficiency in ICTs? Yes, of course. In energy efficiency, we have delivered a series of standards, recommendations related to charters and adapters, both for mobile phones, for PCs and for tablets. And in that sense, we have also worked in Green Data Centers to give some recommendations on Green Data Centers and now we are also studying the 5G standard. We know it's still in process, but we are analyzing the possible energy efficiency impact of 5G. And so, if I understand correctly, the environmental aspects of 5G is a new high priority for your study group. What are some of the issues that play that you are working on and some of the biggest challenges that your group will try to solve? Well, as I've mentioned, the standard for 5G is still underdeveloped. There are some trials being taken place nowadays, but we know that more or less till 2020 we won't have the standard. But we try to start working on the possible impacts of 5G related to electromagnetic compatibility, EMF, resistibility, and energy efficiency, as I mentioned. We've already delivered some technical reports and also we have some supplements for recommendations already, especially in energy efficiency. Okay, Victor, well thank you very much indeed for your time and I'd like to wish you all the best of luck and success for your study group and the new study period. Thank you, Fred. And just one thing I would like to ask is to invite everybody to see our webpage where you can see in detail all the work we are doing and also to welcome all the regions to participate. We have four regional groups in our study group, so they are really welcome to come and bring their own worries and works they are delivering within the regions. Thank you. Okay, thank you, Victoria.
