Elba Event Sustainability Blueprint: A Modular Toolkit & Digital Platform for Carbon-Neutral Island Events
Summary
LIS’s solution is an AI-driven, cloud-based platform that transforms event sustainability management on Elba. It empowers organizers, authorities, and citizens with real-time data, predictive analytics, and actionable recommendations.
The platform not only automates compliance and reporting (ISO 20121, SDGs, GHG Protocol), but also uses machine learning to optimize event planning, resource use, and carbon reduction strategies. It uniquely integrates citizen engagement tools, open data dashboards, and hybrid event modules to maximize participation, transparency, and positive environmental impact-delivering a rapid, measurable ROI and a scalable blueprint for all Mediterranean islands.
