NiCE Networking intelligent Cities for Energy Efficiency
NiCE promotes and advances implementation of the Green Digital Charter. Currently signed by 34 cities, the Charter commits signatories to exploit ICT as enabling technology for reducing CO2 emissions, to demonstrate leadership in adopting innovative technical solutions for delivering on climate change commitments; and to build a partnership between the public and private sectors to use ICT as an enabler to significantly reduce energy consumption and CO2 emissions.

The core of NiCE is the development of the Green Digital Toolkit, an online platform to support cities in implementing their smart and sustainable agenda. Through the Toolkit cities can access the tools developed by NiCE to assess their Charter implementation, to compare it with the Covenant of Mayors commitments and to calculate their ICT carbon footprint. Signatory cities can also use the Toolkit to share tools and activities they are implementing so as to provide other signatories with hundreds of winning and tested solutions.
