​This webinar focuses on how the application of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT's) in adaptation planning can enhance the adaptive capacity of local communities to climate change, as well as facilitate their engagement in local resilience-building actions. Practical examples of ICT solutions implemented in Bologna, Italy and Uganda will be shared.

Piero Pelizzaro from Kyoto Club will introduce the Blue AP(P), a smartphone application which was developed in collaboration with the Municipality of Bologna, and discuss how the application can be utilized to inform citizens and stakeholders about climate adaptation and resilience, and actively involve them in data collection processes.

Berhane Gebru from FHI 360 will then share his experience from the Climate Change Adaptation and ICT (CHAI) project in Uganda, where mobile and wireless technology was used to strengthen the capacity of individuals, communities and institutions to adapt to water-related impacts of climate change.
