Some weeks before the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen, the OPEN DAYS 2009 will showcase several approaches and best practice in regional and local solutions to tackle the effects of climate change. 19 seminars in this section will deal with regional strategies towards low carbon economies, renewable energies and ways of financing energy efficiency measures through EU cohesion policy.
INNOVA’s head of ICT, Francesco NIGLIA, will be a speaker within the workshop “Regions and climate change: Europe’s way to sustainable regional development: Smart Cities, integrated ICT solutions for the low carbon city of the future”. The aim of the workshop is to focus on the development and use of integrated ICT-based solutions to reduce the environmental impacts of urban activities at both the city and the global level. These ICT solutions are designed to optimise the use and management of urban infrastructure and natural resources — including energy efficiency and renewables, water, transport, and land use planning — as well as to address pollution (water, air, soil, noise) and waste.
Francesco NIGLIA will be presenting the latest results of the European GENESYS project focusing on Good practices for European developers of advanced ICT-enabled energy-efficiency Systems. The intervention will also provide opportunity to exchange global views on the role of ICT for sustainable cities.
