ICTs, Climate Change and Development: Concept Paper and Scoping Study December 11, 2010
I have just come across information on ICTs, climate change and development, copied below. posted by Richard Heeks at https://groups.google.com/group/niccd/browse_thread/thread/d901858175e1dc2b?hl=en. Richard will be running a workshop on this topic on Monday at ICTD201, which I plan to attend. Also regarding climate change, I'm not sure if I've mentioned to you that I am active in an online group called Coalition of the Willing - http://cotw.cc
John - You may like to consider giving information about North Central Nigeria at some point.
Nikki - Please add climate change to the agenda for our UK-Nigeria team meeting.

Two new documents on ICTs, climate change and development are
available online at: http://www.niccd.org/resources.htm
Concept Paper: builds four new conceptual models - i) Climate change
vulnerability in developing countries; ii) Climate change adaptation
and adaptive capacity of communities and wider 'livelihood systems';
iii) Climate change resilience; iv) The contribution of ICTs to 'e-
resilience' and 'e-adaptation'.
Scoping Study: charts strands and trends in the literature on ICTs,
climate change and development, and develops an overview model of the
key ICT application areas - mitigation, strategy, monitoring and
adaptation. The scoping study identifies priorities for future
research in this field, provides a glossary of field terms, and
includes an annotated bibliography of key documents from 1997-2010.
These documents are the product of the University of Manchester's
"Climate Change, Innovation and ICTs" research project, funded by
Canada's International Development Research Centre (http://
www.idrc.ca) and managed by the University's Centre for Development
Informatics (http://www.manchester.ac.uk/cdi).
We encourage you to share ideas on ICTs, climate change and
