Networking intelligent Cities for Energy Efficiency

ICT to significantly reduce energy consumption and CO2 emissions

EUROCITIES will work with project partners, Clicks and Links, the city of Manchester and the Leibniz Institute of Ecological and Regional Development. NiCE will be used to promote and support the implementation of commitments made by the Green Digital Charter signatory cities. Over 20 EUROCITIES members have signed up to the charter with the intention to use ICT to significantly reduce energy consumption and CO2 emissions.

Exchanges and learning activities for cities

The NiCE project will run for 2,5 years. During that time, EUROCITIES will develop a common implementation framework, reporting tools and information resources for classifying, measuring, reporting and supporting city actions in the context of the Green Digital Charter. EUROCITIES will also organise a series of exchanges and learning activities for cities, including expert training sessions and study visits to guide cities in executing their intelligent energy initiatives.

Linking with Chinese cities

Networking and public relations events will also be central to the project’s roll-out as EUROCITIES not only wants to build on the number of signatories but also showcase opportunities for cooperation with relevant stakeholders. EUROCITIES will also be linking  with a group of Chinese cities that are developing similar initiatives.
