Helping Indian Cities Mitigate Transport GHG Emissions Using Geospatial Data

Vision: For more than a decade, Google Geo has helped NGOs, scientists, academicians, researchers, and communities understand the earth better. And with increasing data availability, Google’s vision is to leverage Geo’s understanding of climate data to catalyse social and environmental change at scale toward building sustainable cities and communities.

Objectives

The Environmental Insights Explorer (EIE) (https://insights.sustainability.google/) uses exclusive data sources and modelling capabilities to help cities and regions measure emission sources, and identify strategies to reduce emissions, thus creating a foundation for effective action. Google’s objective was to leverage these insights to reduce transport emission levels in 4 cities across India.
