This work stems from a global initiative launched on October 10, 2024, at UNESCO headquarters, bringing together experts from ISO, ITU and IEEE, in partnership with the OECD and UNESCO. Led by the French Ministry in charge of Environment, this initiative led to the publication of a first document to ensure better coordination between standardization bodies and optimize resources dedicated to assessing and reducing the environmental impact of AI. The first document was published in the context of the Paris AI Action Summit (February 10-11, 2025). This new version is an update of the document, elaborated through a new work session with standardization organizations on December 4th, 2025, and subsequent feedback given by experts. It is published in the context of the AI Impact Summit in India (February 19-20, 2026) to ensure continuous coordination between experts.
