GDC - Commitments

The Charter breaks down into around 100 commitments which range from “collaborating with industry to support greener production, logistics and

green procurement” to “developing opportunities for innovation in eGovernment to transform

public services, for example through mobile channels”

The GDC commitments combine to support 3 overall objective aims, namely to:

1. Work with Green Digital Charter signatories on ICT & Energy Efficiency;

2. Deploy five large-scale ICT pilots per city addressing the above areas within 5 years;

3. Decrease ICT direct carbon footprint per city by 30% within 10 years.

ITU

NiCE continues to contribute to the  ‘Methodology to evaluate the GHG Impact of ICT in Cities' being developed by ITU-T (Q18 , Study Group 5)

The City methodology L.1440 for which EC is now chief editor will provide a firm basis in terms of a common methodology and as a result we can develop practical reporting tools based on the emerging methodology.

NiCE providing City input via EC and UK routes to L1440

L.1420 on organisations can be used by the public administration

Challenges for L.1440

Practicability for Cities Level of Accuracy Availability of Base Data Access to ICT footprints Positive and Negative ICT impact on footprint City Need
