Recommendations for a Greener Economy in Developing Countries

News

Jun 21 2012

Ten recommendations for the use of Information and Communication Technology in sustainable development. Developed for the The UN Conference on Sustainable Development, organised in Rio, Brazil on June 20-22.

To view an interactive version of our recommendations for a greener economy in developing countries, go to our Rio+20 theme page. For a publication that digs a little bit deeper into the implementation of ICT for greener economies in the developing world, see our PDF version.

These recommendations are based on IICD’s profound experience in providing innovative digital solutions for developing countries in South America and Africa, highlighted by practical examples of IICD projects, where the use of ICT led to green growth and sustainable development in these regions.
