Using ICT for Adaptation Rather than Mitigation to Climate Change

The text examines the role of ICT in climate adaptation, highlighting the potential of 'Green clouds' and the 'Energy Internet'. It specifically assesses the use of electric cookers powered by solar irrigation systems in rural Kenya to determine their impact on social inclusion and gender equality, while advocating for a transition to renewable energy that protects ecosystems and local livelihoods.

• The author identifies 'Green clouds' and the 'Energy Internet' as promising concepts for ICT adaptation solutions that can address climate change and reduce emissions.
• The study investigates the feasibility of using solar irrigation systems to power electric cookers in rural Kenyan households, specifically analyzing the effects on social inclusion and gender equality.
• The report argues for a transition to renewable energy systems that maintains the health of land, ecosystem functions, and the livelihoods of local populations.
