Media summit on climate change, ICTs and disaster risk reduction
The ABU, ITU, UNESCO and Ministry of Information and Communication of Indonesia are moving ahead to generate support for a joint world action of broadcasting unions and UN agencies to mitigate the climate change impact. The 2014 Jakarta Summit will address the role of Media and ICTs in raising awareness of effective strategies and solutions for disaster risk reduction and economic sustainability.
The Summit is an offspring of the UNESCO International Conference on Broadcast Media and Climate Change (Paris, September 2009). It offers a platform for exchange of ideas and practices on:
- Social dimensions of climate change
- ICTs and the environment
- Broadcasters before and after disasters
- Cases in green technology implementation
- Increasing effectiveness of emergency broadcasts
