Emergency telecommunications play a critical role in the
immediate aftermath of disasters by ensuring timely flow
of vital information that is much needed by government
agencies and other humanitarian actors involved in rescue
operations and providing medical assistance to the injured.
ITU and its partners deploy satellite terminals and other
emergency telecommunication equipment to affected
countries within the first 24 to 48 hours in the aftermath of
a disaster to help restore vital communication links.

4th ITU Green Standards Week, 22 - 26
September 2014, Beijing, China
ITU organized the fourth Green Standards Week, from 22 to 26 September 2014 in
Beijing, China was dedicated to the theme of “Smart Sustainable Cities” and was kindly
hosted by Huawei in close cooperation with the China Academy of Telecommunication
Research (CATR), MIIT, China.
The Green Standards Week acted as global platform for discussion and knowledgesharing in order to raise awareness of the importance and opportunities of using ICT to
build smart sustainable cities and ensure a sustainable future.
It concluded with a Call to Action that calls for stronger cooperation between the energy
and ICT sectors and emphasizes the value of international technical standards in ensuring
that smart-city solutions see the benefits of economies of scale and interoperability.
The Green Standards Week brought together over 300 leading specialists in the field,
