Mobile’s impact on the SDGs in North America
Moreover, the US and Canada are among the global leaders in terms of 5G adoption, reflecting the ambitious 5G deployment plans of operators and a rapidly expanding device and content ecosystem. This supports the industry’s contribution to the SDGs by spurring the use of new applications and services in sectors such as automotive, healthcare and manufacturing.
Climate-related SDGs (e.g. SDGs 11, 12 and 13) are quickly rising up the agenda of North American operators. Along with operators in Europe, operators in North America are making the biggest strides on climate action, with direct (Scope 1 and 2) emissions per connection falling since last year and absolute emissions plateauing.[71] This has been helped by operators expanding their energy-efficiency programmes and their sharply increasing use of renewable electricity.
