| Headline: | ICT Update 35 - Coping with climate change |
| Description: | The latest edition of ICT Update Magazine, (http://ictupdate.cta.int), has just been published. This edition’s theme is ‘Coping with climate change’. Developing countries will suffer far more from the impacts of global warming than the big polluters in Europe and North America. Soil erosion and desertification will affect ACP countries far more than Europe and North America. Some small island states in the South Pacific and the Indian Ocean could be entirely engulfed by the seas. Such dire threats seem overwhelming and tackling them impossible. The scale of the big-picture hazards often obscure practical strategies of mitigating and adapting that local communities, NGOs and researchers in developing countries are engaged in. In this issue of ICT Update, we look at a few of such pioneering activities in ACP countries. ICT Update is a bimonthly printed bulletin, web magazine, and accompanying email newsletter focusing on the use of information and communication technologies in agriculture in developing countries. It is published in English and French, by CTA (Technical Centre for Agricultural and Rural Cooperation) in Wageningen in the Netherlands. |
