Google Greece

Google is a key technology partner in advancing sustainable urban mobility, directly aligning with the CIVITAS Forum 2026 theme of "Competitive, Connected, and Resilient" urban transport. Through AI-powered initiatives like Project Green Light, Google helps city engineers optimize traffic light timing—reducing stops by up to 30% and cutting emissions by over 10% on average. Its fuel-efficient routing in Google Maps enables drivers to choose lower-emission paths, while Environmental Insights Explorer (EIE) provides cities with critical data to track CO₂ reductions and travel-time improvements. These tools make transport systems more efficient, innovative, and competitive.

Beyond mobility solutions, Google is committed to building a resilient and sustainable AI infrastructure. The company has achieved a 3x improvement in the carbon-efficiency of its AI hardware over four years and currently runs on 66% carbon-free energy, with a goal of 24/7 carbon-free energy by 2030. By openly sharing life-cycle assessments—including energy, carbon, and water footprints per AI query—Google promotes transparency and helps cities and industry stakeholders move toward environmentally responsible, data-driven mobility futures. This combination of applied AI and infrastructure accountability positions Google as a valuable contributor to the CIVITAS Forum 2026 discussions.
