Mapping strategic linkages between ICTs and climate change:

The strategic linkages of ICTs playing a role in climate change can be summarised within the “5 I’s”:

• Creating and raising awareness about the direct and indirect impacts of climate change, especially at the grassroots level.
• Disseminating and diffusing critical local knowledge of local solutions among communities to galvanise action.

The need for documentation and storytelling at the local level

Acción Ecológica shows how there remains a strong need to document, narrate, capture and record adaptation challenges, techniques and knowledge at the local level. Grassroots know-how needs to be shared and understood. This process of documentation is also an opportunity for local communities to voice their concerns – political, social, personal – at a regional and global level, and can offer an opportunity for these communities to influence policy.

BCO Learning Days build on the core work areas of BCO members and draw on the expertise and experience of the group in order to harness synergies and capitalise on collaboration. An ICTs and Climate Change Learning Day was held in Johannesburg on 19 December 2008, and looked to highlight the role of ICTs in meeting the global challenge of a warming planet. This report back captures some of the key points raised during the discussions.²⁵
