It provides an in-depth analysis of the `Sensing and Communication` paradigm as currently defined in 3GPP 5G standards and projects its evolution into the 6G landscape. The focus of the paper is on the unified application of communication and sensing technologies, emphasizing key areas of 6G development such as exploring new spectrum bands, crafting channel models sensitive to environmental nuances, leveraging AI/ML for collaborative use, and the potential advancements brought by a new Radio Interface Technology (RIT) for IMT-2030. Additionally, the paper outlines the technical challenges and research opportunities associated with the implementation and standardization of ISAC. It serves as a strategic guide for ongoing and future research, as well as innovation in this emerging field.

This report is consolidation of views from 6GCG members on “Sustainability” in the context of IMT-2030 and is defined as one of the applications of 6G Network/System. The whitepaper introduces the key components of “Sustainability” and how the different players in the telecom value-chain can take the right steps to ensure the sustainability goals for IMT2030.
