How Google’s Environmental Insights Explorer (EIE) Supports Sustainability Efforts in Spanish Cities

To combat the climate emergency Spain declared in 2020, the country put sustainability and digitalisation centre to its development. Many Spanish cities are already leading the way towards climate neutrality and experiences from Madrid and Vitoria-Gasteiz show how digital platforms including Google’s Environmental Insights Explorer (EIE) can support efforts in Spanish cities. EIE provides free, virtually accessible, granular data on transportation and building emissions, rooftop solar ener...

Google’s Environmental Insights Explorer’s neighbourhood data assists Green Transport Planning

As a significant contributor to city greenhouse gas emissions, transportation also holds significant potential for decarbonising Europe. However, data-driven sustainable mobility planning for cities is a challenge due to the difficulties in transport data collection. This is where Google’s Environmental Insights Explorer (EIE) can help. As shown in this case study by the cities of Braga, Stockholm, Tampere, Vitoria-Gasteiz and Warsaw, EIE can play a valuable role in the mobility plans of m...

Google‘s Environmental Insights Explorer for Solar Scenario Planning: An Exploration from Madrid

ICLEI Europe in collaboration with the municipality of Madrid, used Google‘s Environmental Insights Explorer (EIE) to explore solar development objectives and insights into the city‘s rooftop PV capacity and energy generation potential. As stated in the “Madrid 360 Solar” strategy of the city, 30% of the electricity demand of municipal buildings should be covered by rooftop solar panels by 2030. High-quality data is critical for cities to evaluate the viability of their g...
