In 2020, Google shared our aspiration to help others reduce 1 gigaton (GT) of their carbon equivalent emissions annually by 2030. This is an ambitious vision that we’ve set to push us to contribute meaningfully to helping with climate solutions beyond our own operations and value chain. We initially focused on helping cities and local governments reduce 1 GT of emissions. A key tool in this e昀昀o爀琀 is the Environmental Insights Explorer (EIE), which provides actionable climate and sustainability data to government o昀케cials in cities and regions worldwide. It’s been used in multiple ways across the globe, including by city leaders in Dublin to analyze bicycle usage and inform The Environmental Insights Explorer makes actionable climate data available to more than 40,000 cities and regions worldwide. sma爀琀 transpo爀琀ation policies, and by the city of Austin to prioritize planting trees in areas with the highest need.
