NEW SUSTAINABILITY WEBSITE OF TELEFÓNICA

Sustainability of urban areas is a vital issue, given that by 2050, 70% of the world’s population will live in them, and they currently emit 71% of greenhouse gases and account for between 60% and 80% of global energy consumption. ICT can provide solutions to make them more efficient through smart cities initiatives.

At Telefónica, we offer solutions to the challenges of these smart cities. What sets us apart is our cross-cutting, technological platform which is open to development and integration with other companies’ applications.

Here you can find the commitments and positioning of Telefónica in this field: http://ow.ly/Gx3Ti
