This includes The use of ICT applications to monitor and mitigate the impact of climate change particu- larly on developing countries. This also covers preparing for and managing the impact and relief from natural disasters. Studies the impact of electromagnetic fields on humans and develops procedures for the safe disposal of electronic waste. Also, securing telecoms and ICT devices against forgery, counterfeiting or theft. Implement conformance and interoperability test methodology for devices and equipment. 4.1.1 International Mobile Telecommunications The ITU-R defines the radio frequency (RF) spectrum for various services, including mobile ser- vices. Within the ITU-R, working party 5D (WP5D) has the responsibility for the overall radio sys- tem. WP5D has been working with various governments and industry participants to develop an In- ternational Mobile Telecommunications system, known as IMT. IMT provides a global platform to define the requirements and specifications to build the next generations of mobile services. The initial set of IMT standards was approved by ITU in 2000 and was known as IMT-2000 and was used as the basis for the third generation (3G) mobile network. In January 2012, the ITU defined a detailed specification for the fourth generation (4G) mobile networks as part of IMT-Ad- vanced (see the ITU-R M.2012-4 entry in the "Chapter References" section at the end of the chapter). The document ITU-R M.2083 (also referenced at end of this chapter) describes a detailed frame- work for the development of IMT for 2020 and beyond. The scope of IMT-2020 is focused upon the fifth generation (5G) mo
