2. Addressing the Challenge – Part I: Towards a Common Methodology
An agreed measurements framework to define environmental KPIs for ICT’s impact is a precondition for any further meaningful work.
The Issue EC Approach Application to Cities
+ -?
ICT as enabler to contribute to energy, resource efficiency targets
+
- Negative impact of ICT on the environmentHow to measure the
overall impact of ICT?
Working with international standardisation bodies (ITU, ETSI, IEC, …)
Working with industry stakeholdersCompleting and
expanding efforts to a common
framework to capture ICT’s overall
impact across environmental
dimensions
Cities’ infrastructures cover whole potential of smart green ICT use:
Buldings, Neighbourhoods
Energy grids Water Transport, Logicstics
Cities provide sufficient demand to achieve critical massTo be able to
compare and learn cities require own
framework to measure ICT’s
impact

2. Addressing the Challenge – Part 2: Connecting and Enabling European Cities
The Green Digital Charter means political commitment and specific actions towards ICT-enabled sustainability targets and greening ICT itself.
Since November 2009, to encourage cities to: (i) reduce the carbon footprint of their ICT and (ii) roll-out ICT solutions leading to more energy
and resource efficiency, carbon neutrality and further public policy goals
Closely cooperate on ICT deployment towards public policy goals
Deploy 5 large scale ICT projects within 5 yearsDecrease ICT’s direct carbon footprint by 30%
within 10 years

Objectives: establishing an ICT footprint Reporting Tool drawing on existing international standards to measure, compare and report ICT’s direct carbon footprint at city level
Supporting the Green Digital Charter in moving from political commitment to action:
2. Addressing the Challenge – Part 2: Connecting and Enabling European Cities
Define a set of monitoring
and reporting tools
Knowledge exchange
beyond GDC
Deliver practical
support to the signatory
cities
Cooperation with China
‘NiCE – Networking intelligent Cities for Energy Efficiency’ is the EC’s support action to promote and advance the Green Digital Charter.

3. Conclusions
The Smart Green City is one that strategically mobilises ICT infrastructure and services towards achieving sustainability objectives whilst addressing ICT’s own environmental impact
The European Commission lays great emphasis on the adaption of a common framework to measure ICT’s overall environmental impact
EU ICT policy initiatives work towards improving and spreading Smart Green Cities throughout our Member States
Interoperable and multi-application infrastructure and protocols are the backbone to making Smart Green Cities a success story
