EXIGENCE

The ‘Carbon footprint transparency’ use case proposes the inclusion of metrics such as “Instant Carbon Footprint” or “Total Daily CO2” explicitly during video streaming services (incl. live events), on OTT platforms, or video conferencing. It is envisioned that this information would be displayed at the top of the screen of the end-user device (next to other indicators such as current time, battery status, or connectivity strength). Building on the availability of this information to create awareness of the environmental impacts each user is responsible for, the end user will have the ability and freedom to adjust the trade-off between the quality of service and the ecological footprint as provided by the ICT system.
