Using ICT for Adaptation Rather than Mitigation to Climate Change

A research paper by Bill St. Arnaud exploring ICT-based adaptation solutions for climate change, including the potential of 'Green clouds' and the 'Energy Internet', as well as the feasibility of solar-powered electric cookers in rural Kenya.

• Bill St. Arnaud examines ICT sector adaptation solutions that address climate change while simultaneously contributing to the reduction of emissions.
• The document identifies 'Green clouds' and the 'Energy Internet' as concepts with significant potential.
• The study assesses the feasibility of using solar irrigation systems to power electric cookers and analyzes the resulting effects on social inclusion and gender equality in rural Kenyan households.
• The report investigates methods for transitioning to renewable energy systems that protect local livelihoods, ecosystem functions, and land health.
