Draft Report on Infrastructure Sharing as a lever for ECN/ECS Environmental Sustainability

This report by the Body of European Regulators for Electronic Communications (BEREC) explores infrastructure sharing as a lever for environmental sustainability in electronic communications networks (ECNs) and services (ECSs), aligning with broader EU objectives to reduce the ICT sector’s environmental impact. As a response to the EU Green Deal and the UN Agenda 2030, BEREC examines how regulatory tools might enhance the environmental performance of telecommunications by minimizing the footprint associated with network deployment and operation. It capitalises on previous publications of BEREC on infrastructure sharing and bases in its analysis on a survey circulated among National Regulatory Authorities (NRAs) within BEREC and on a consultation of stakeholders during a technical workshop.
