11:30 - 13:00 | Session 1: Planning for climate change adaption – addressing vulnerabilities using ICT
Climate change is a complex and dynamic challenge, which countries are faced to. Providing useful tools to monitor, collect and analyze information about the changing climate and environment, ICT can help countries in strengthening adaptive capacity in order to reduce the impacts of climate change and increase resilience to future threats. This session will present the role of ICT in supporting informationgathering, decisionmaking, implementation and evaluation processes to respond to climate change and environmental degradation challenges and it will stress the convenience of integrating ICT in national adaptation policies to help countries develop long term, creative and effective adaptation strategies. It will also discuss the importance of improving the resilience of telecommunications infrastructure in extreme climate conditions.

Session 2: Green ICT opportunity – can ICT deliver carbon mitigation goals?
Sustainable development is essential to address climate change and environmental challenges effectively. Transformational changes are therefore necessary both in technology development as well as in our patterns of production and consumption. Green ICT stands for environmentally friendly and resource efficient information and communications technology and thus for increasing efficiency and saving energy in an intelligent and sustainable manner. This session will look at the role that ICT and ICT sector can play in helping other sectors to reduce their own emissions and will present ongoing efforts undertaken by the ICT sector to reduce its own emissions.
