The last decades have seen unprecedented development in wireless communication technologies (mobile telephony, Wi-Fi). The imminent introduction of 5G technology across the EU is expected to bring new opportunities for citizens and businesses, through faster Internet browsing, streaming and downloading, as well as through improved connectivity. However, 5G, along with 3G and 4G, with which it will operate in parallel for several years, may also pose threats to human health. This STOA report aims to take stock of our current understanding of the health effects of 5G.

Las últimas décadas han experimentado un desarrollo sin precedentes en las tecnologías de comunicación inalámbrica (telefonía móvil, Wi-Fi).

This report provides an overview of the opportunities that next generation virtual worlds may bring in different sectors such as education, manufacturing, health, and public services among others. This potential will need to be harnessed in light of the challenges the EU may need to address along societal, technological, and economic and policy dimensions. We apply a multidisciplinary and multisectoral perspective to our analysis, covering technical, social, industrial, political and economic facets. The report also offers a first techno-economic analysis of the digital ecosystem identifying current key players in different subdomains related to virtual worlds.

Telecommunications networks use radio frequency electromagnetic fields to enable wireless communication. These networks have evolved over time and have been implemented in successive generations.

Las redes de telecomunicaciones utilizan campos electromagnéticos de radiofrecuencia para posibilitar la comunicación inalámbrica. Estas redes han evolucionado a lo largo del tiempo y se han implantado en sucesivas generaciones.

Las formas en que las sociedades, las instituciones y los ciudadanos se relacionan con la naturaleza y la valoran han desempeñado un papel clave en las crisis interconectadas de biodiversidad, cambio climático, recursos naturales y salud a las que nos enfrentamos. Este informe explora cómo replantear las relaciones entre los seres humanos y la naturaleza. Examina cómo la comprensión holística de la profunda interconexión de los seres humanos con otras formas de vida y ecosistemas podría conducir a nuevas motivaciones para proteger la naturaleza y acelerar la transformación social que necesitamos para vivir bien dentro de los límites del planeta.
