ITU launches a project on ICT and climate change in Ghana

ITU launched a project on ICT and climate change in Ghana, which will be based on two pillars.

The first will look at how ICT can be used to help Ghana adapt to the effects of climate change, and will be led by the Ministry of Communications and sponsored by Research in Motion (RIM).

The second, which will be led by Ghana’s Environment Protection Agency with sponsorship from Vodafone Ghana, will look at how telecommunications in that country can reduce their own greenhouse gas emissions.

This project will be the first test of the ITU’s assessment method, as set out in Environmental Assessment for the ICT Sector.
