Case Studies on Climate change and ICTs
October 27, 2011 1 Comment
Climate change and ICTs involve the use of ICTs to mitigate, prevent and/or manage the effects of human and non-human activities on the environment and change in the climate in a region over a period. Case studies on various areas of ICTs, climate change and development are presented here. Each one follows a consistent format, outlining the nature of the ICT application, the drivers and objectives behind the case, its stakeholders, an evaluation of cost/benefit and success/failure, analysis of key enablers and challenges, and a summary set of lessons learned and recommendations.
A1. Pakreport: Crowdsourcing for Multipurpose and Multicategory Climate-Related Disaster Reporting
A2. Role of ICTs in Early Warning of Climate-Related Disasters: A Sri Lankan Case Study
A3. Using Mobile Phones to Reduce the Adversities of Climate Change in Rural Nepal
These cases studies are from the University of Manchester Climate Change Research Group in the School of Environment and Development - http://www.niccd.org/
