  1. ICT: Enabling the Sustainable City and Community Monique Meche Director, Global Environment Policy and Sustainability

  2. MONITOR MANAGE REDUCE Cisco Vision If it’s Connected to the Internet, it can beGreener • Electricity use in offices • Appliances in homes • Traffic flows in cities

  3. SMART 2020: ICT Climate Change Solutions According to the SMART 2020 Report,ICT can reduce global emissions up to 15% by 2020: five times its own footprint in 2020 Savings of 7.8 GtCO2e Key requirements to capture opportunity: New Business Models Energy Efficiency ICT/R&D Investments New Ecosystems New Regulatory Models Active Carbon Markets www.smart2020.org

  4. CITIES: FACING CLIMATE CHALLENGES >50% of World’s Population • Half the world’s population – set to rise to 80% by 2050 • Big cities getting bigger....100 new 1M+ cities by 2025 • 500M urbanized in next 5 years • Cities use 75% of the world’s energy and are responsible for 80% GHGs • Critical for climate change first response, mitigation and adaptation • Easy best practice transfer : less differentiation between ‘North-South’ designations than national governments 75% of World’s Energy Consumption 80% of World’s GHGs Emissions

  5. VIDEO Connected Urban Development (CUD)

  6. Connected Urban Development (CUD) • 5 year Cisco commitment under Clinton Global Initiative, initiated in 2006 • Public-Private partnership with Amsterdam, Seoul, San Francisco, Madrid, Lisbon, Birmingham, and Hamburg • Objectives: • - Develop innovative solutions using ICTs to reduce CO2emissions • Blueprints, models and practices that help to create successful, connected, attractive and sustainable 21st century cities • Improve the way cities function through ICT: • give people information to make informed decisions + change behavior • manage cities in more participative way

  8. Cisco / NASA : Planetary Skin Massive global-monitoring system of environmental conditions to enable effective decision making The Problem: • Can’t manage what you can’t measure, notably for resources, risks & environmental markets The Solution: A web-Platform capable to : • Manage resources productively and effectively (energy, water, land, waste, and infrastructure) • Manage risks (related to rises in sea level, affecting coastal infrastructures, drought-related crop yield reductions, and disease proliferation and pandemics) • Manage new environmental markets (carbon, water, biodiversity and more) Data collected from space to airborne to terrestrial sensors to people-based networks- to model, predict, analyze and report www.planetaryskin.org
