January 2, 2012 admin 0

Bytesforall Initiative has undertaken an extensive research to map all environment and climate change related policies in Bangladesh and to identify where ICT and access to information can play an important role in order to address the environment sustainability issues. The study that shows how ICT can both be part of the problem and the solution is now available through the APC website at: http://www.apc.org/en/pubs/environment/icts-and-environmental-sustainability-bangladesh-b
