OutlineOutline
● European policy on Sustainable Cities in particular through ICT
● RTD on ICT systems for Sustainable Cities
● Deployment of ICT solutions for Sustainable Cities
Policy Context
● In Europe 80% of the population lives in cities
● 50% of CO2 is produced in cities
● 80% of energy is consumed in cities
Cities are an ideal test bed for innovative
solutions addressing climate change in
particular the three 20% targets for 2020
Policy Context
● Part of the SET-plan Roadmap on Low Carbon Energy Technologies
● 25 to 30 cities at the forefront of the three European targets for 2020
● Main components: buildings, energy networks and transport
● Concrete objectives:-Take up but 5% of EU population of energy efficient Technologies-Reduce 40% of greenhouse gas by 2020-Effective spread across Europe
● Cost between 10-12B € for a period of 2010-2020 (precise financing under discussion)http://setis.ec.europa.eu/initiatives/technology-roadmap/european-initiative-on-smart-cities
The European Smart Cities Initiative
Policy Context
● Launched at EUSEW on January 2008
● Signatories commit to go beyond the 20% CO2 reduction by 2020
● Each city will develop its own Sustainable Energy Action Plan
● The plan is to be submitted each year for 3 years after adhesion
● Second signatory ceremony 4 May 2010 at the European Parliament
● Number of signatories about 1700 cities

The Covenant of Mayors
Policy Context
● ICT equipment is itself efficient
● De-materialisation, e-commerce, e-government, video-conferencing, tele-working, etc
● The enabling role of ICT
- Buildings: >energy management and control system>modelling and simulation>40% of energy in Europe is consumed in buildings ICT can help reduction close to 20%
- Transport: >traffic management>intermodal transport
The contribution of ICT to Sustainable Cities
Policy Context
- Smart Energy: >integration of renewables>smart meters (prosumers)>grid control and management>smart vehicles
● Systemic approach to counterbalance possible rebound effects
>Decision support systems>Simulation>Inter-domain city planning
● Transparency and homogeneity on accounting and measuring
The contribution of ICT to Sustainable Cities (2)
November 2008 - European response to the financial and economic crisis
On research it launches three Public-Private Partnerships:● Energy-efficient buildings €1 bn● Factories of the future € 1.2 bn● Green Cars € 5 bn
On infrastructure:● Modifies the rules governing the cohesion funds (€ 347 bn for 2007- 2013) to allow support to energy-efficiency in all Member States● Launches trans-European energy interconnections and broadband infrastructure projects (5b€ for2009 – 2010)
Policy Context
The Recovery Plan “Investing today for tomorrow’s Europe”
Commission Communication May 2008Points to ICT and ICT-based innovations as one of the potentially most cost-effective means to achieve the 2020 targets
Commission Communication March 2009 Sets out a policy to exploit the enabling capacity of ICT in contributing to energy efficiency
Commission Recommendation October 2009Identifies specific actions for stakeholders to exploit ICT to effect change
? Depends on industry reaction
Policy Context
Policy Context
● An initiative of Manchester City, Eurocities and the European Commission
● Launched in November 2009
● The signatory Mayors commit to
>Deploy 5 large scale projects before 2015>Decrease ICT direct carbon footprint by 30% by 2020 >Create partnerships on ICT and energy consuming sectors by 2011
● Signatories: Amsterdam, Birmingham, Bologna, Bristol, Genoa, Ghent, The Hague, Helsinki, Lisbon, Malaga, Manchester, Murcia, Nantes, Nice, Porto, Reykjavik, Rijeka, Tallinn, Stockholm, Vienna and Zaragoza.
The Green Digital Charter
Policy Context
● Aims at:
> Reducing own ICT footprint (notably data centers)> Increase the use of renewables> Improve measurability, transparency and visibility of emissions and energyuse> Improve transport and urban mobility> Deploy smartgrids with particular attention to microgrids and virtualpowerplants
