Smart Tech for Sustainable Urbanism: Aditi Dass, Deputy Director , The Climate Group India
2. Who we are The Climate Group is an independent non-profit organization working with leading companies, states and cities around the world to show that cutting carbon makes good sense not just for the environment, but for jobs and economic growth. Since 2004, we have been bringing together some of the world’s biggest companies and most influential government leaders to tackle climate change and unlock a clean industrial revolution.
3. The world’s first international NGO focused solely on the clean energy economy. — Our Network & Partners — 80 Members, 11 Locations and 7 Countries
8. 50% of world’s population living in cities today (69% by 2050)
9. Up to 80% of the world’s emissions occur in cities. So let’s start there.
10. Cities as a site for innovation SMART 2020 7.8 Gt CO2e savings opportunity Urban Information Services — Smart Technologies, Buildings, Metering, ICT
11. What needs to happen Standards(technical and interoperable) must be developed to allow smart systems to interact across sectors Monitoring of emissions and resource consumption must make emissions transparent and visible Accountability via ongoing piloting and demonstration projects that test not only new technical integration, but also policies and business models Rethinking via ongoing piloting and demonstration projects that test not only new technical integration, but also policies and business models MarketTransformation will occur when (1) targets & policies are adopted in line with the 2020 goal, (2) financial institutions are able to fund efficiency, and (3) cross-sector government-business dialogue raises awareness of the challenges and benefits of holistic energy efficiency policies and practices.
12. SMART 2020 Initiative: Saving 15% of global emissions in 2020 Goals — Launch10 cutting-edge ‘smart’ projects — Advance Policy and financing to support scale up, to enable ICT to support 20% energy efficiency targets — Raise awareness of value ICT-enabled climate change solutions Programme Workstreams — Identifying smart opportunities — Policy advocacy: Access to energy information and utility operating models — Innovation and demonstration project support — Raising awareness How to get involved — Working Group Member — Strategic Partner — Supporter
13. “You can’t manage what you can’t measure” ... and “You can’t finance what you can’t measure”
24. With the right technology, we can save $945 billion in energy and 7.8 GtCO2e of emissions by 2020.

The Work of The Climate GroupThe °Climate Group is focussed on five clean technologies that are already available on the market but not yet fully commercialized. If they become mainstream these technologies could transform global energy systems, delivering up to half of the emissions reductions required by 2050 to avoid the most dangerous effects of climate change . They are: LED lightingPlug-in electric vehicles (EV’s)Smart information and communications technologiesSolar power Carbon capture and storageTo achieve widespread commercial deployment these technologies must overcome a range of challenges that all new technologies face, including: awareness; acceptance of their ‘real world’ performance; availability; and the appropriate financial mechanisms and policy support required for them to reach scale.These technologies are complementary and can be used together, for example LED lighting can be used with smart controls, and powered by solar produced electricity.We will track progress through The Exchange monitoring tool, and use our Global Alliance to demonstrate that the Clean Revolution is the right way forward. It is not possible to have a high-carbon prosperous future.

Smart2020 Programme : Why the Climate Group? (Part I)How the project will utilise the advantages of the Climate GroupWhy TCG to do this....strong network, ICT, financial sector, government, partners etc (our ‘coalition’)The Climate Group has an established network of IT partners which allows us to implement projects, share knowledge and deliver real progress on a global basis. These include Cisco, BT, HP, Dell and Johnson Controls. We also have a global network of states and regional members which allows projects to be delivered and enhanced through this route and on a global basis.In 2008, The Climate Group published ‘SMART 2020: enabling energy efficiency in the information age’ with McKinsey and the Global eSustainability Initiative. It has become the definitive report on the opportunity for the sector and has provided new industry guidance on the savings and progress possible. We continue to advise on steering groups for industry associations and independent initiatives to drive policy and market development.[[ LED lights ]]
Smart2020 Programme : Why The Climate Group? (Part II)Who is involved in the project? At present....plans...aims. The area of key focus and different parts of the value chain we can influence e.g. ICT, Cities, governments, banks and financing, policy etc.Provide examples of who we are working with. Partners – other NGO’s, consulting companies etcThe Smart2020 initiative will extend the Connected Urban Development (CUD) Alliance of cities and ICT companies (founded by Cisco Systems in partnership with cities Amsterdam, Seoul, San Francisco, Madrid, Lisbon, Hamburg and Birmingham). In 2010, we aim to engage additional corporate and city partners in this work.The Climate Group has run events with the major players in the ICT sector including events with Google in 2010 around energy information issues and efficiencies.
Goals: Long Term (Part I)The goals of the project e.g. What will the programme achieve? Long term goal? 2020 goal? How do we know we have succeeded and what does the world look like in that case?The Smart2020 initiative aims to:Have ten projects underway by June 2013.Ensure that key government partners are sufficiently informed and inspired to have adopted energy efficiency targets and policies that support the scale up of ICT-enabled solutions, including specific policy issues around access to energy information and utility operating modelsWork to make sure that public and private investment is being leveraged to deliver solutions.Develop a ‘network of networks’ to facilitate the most effective sharing of knowledge.
Goals/Timelines (Part II)Short term goalsPhases (if applicable)The detailed work of the initiative will be to move towards: Identifying SMART opportunities for cities, including pilot projects and reporting (The production of additional Regional SMART opportunities reports and city level reports)Applying SMART technology to innovation in the electricity sector through consumer access to data and new business models for energy utilities.Specific Project Support to drive awareness of new solutions
Goals/Timelines (Part III, if needed)Benchmarks . Budget required: current position, aspiration for FY10/11, next three yearsThe Smart2020 initiative has a budget of £1.2m in the year to June 2011 and £3.8m for the three years to June 2013.Of this budget £X is funded through partner memberships and sponsorship, meaning that the initiative is looking to raise £Xm in the next 12 months, and £X over the next three years, to allow the delivery of our work plan.[Needs a bit more detail here on funding plans when we have it]
