The document summarizes the key points from a presentation by Dr. Colette Maloney of the European Commission on putting smart technologies at the center of green economic policies. It outlines the EU's three 2020 targets for reducing greenhouse gas emissions, increasing renewable energy, and improving energy efficiency. It argues that information and communication technologies can help achieve these goals through smart buildings, grids, cities, and other applications. The EC recommends measuring ICT's benefits and potential negative impacts. It also describes the European Smart Cities Initiative to fund projects in 25-30 cities and a Green Digital Charter signed by 21 cities.
