This workshop hosted by the Centre for Development Informatics at the University of Manchester explores the intersection of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) and climate change within the context of development. It examines key challenges such as short-term shocks and long-term trends affecting communities post-MDGs. Research presentations and group discussions will focus on effective strategies for adaptation, resilience, and sustainability through ICTs. Join us in forming a collaborative research and practice network to tackle the pressing issues of climate change in development.
