Cairo Symposium presents a new
roadmap to enhance environmental
sustainability through use of
ICTs
Building on the
tradition of ITU symposia,
the 5th ITU Symposium on ICTs,
the Environment and Climate
Change was held in Cairo, Egypt
in November 2010. The key
outcome of the symposium was the
approval of “the Cairo Roadmap”,
a set of recommendations for
action related to ICTs, the
Environment and Climate Change.
“The Cairo Roadmap is a
unique starting point for
governments, in particular of
the African and Arab regions, to
promote the use of ICTs for the
protection of the environment
and develop relevant green
national policies.”
(Hamadoun Toure, ITU Secretary-General)
