Introduction

Overview

The in-person training course aims to inform telecommunications policymakers and regulators, particularly those in emerging and developing markets, about the multifaceted relationship between mobile technologies and climate change. It also discusses how the mobile industry is reducing its own impacts on climate change while also enabling climate action in other sectors. Furthermore, it details how policymakers can facilitate climate action across the mobile ecosystem and beyond. This course will also be helpful to other important stakeholders, including energy and climate-related policymakers seeking to better understand how mobile technologies can contribute to climate action; and relevant international organisations and NGOs who are interested in the intersection between digital and mobile technologies and climate change.
