<div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr">Thank you for this opportunity. I work in the film industry so I will answer from that perspective. Regarding question 1 and 2:<div><br></div><div>One of the many tools provided by <a href="http://greenfilmmaking.com">greenfilmmaking.com</a> is Carbon Calculators. They list a number, including an app from Germany called the Carbon Film Quote. The Green Production Guide of the Producers Guild of America has the Carbon Calculator which can be downloaded for free, for both PC and Mac. Greenfilmmaking.com also made sustainable additions to their Covid-19 toolkit, available on their website. They have a list of green filmmaking research done from several countries: "Sam Mendes' "Away we go" (2009) greened up the whole production and wrote a good report about it, which sparked green filmmaking initiatives around the globe." The report is available for download from <a href="http://greenfilmmaking.com">greenfilmmaking.com</a> .</div><div><br></div><div>Regards,</div><div>Mildred Achoch.<br><div><br></div><div><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><a href="http://kenyarockfilmfestivaljournal.blogspot.com" target="_blank">http://kenyarockfilmfestivaljournal.blogspot.com</a> "Lighten the Burden"<br></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><br></div></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Thu, Oct 15, 2020 at 6:07 AM Winfred Anyona via kictanet <<a href="mailto:kictanet@lists.kictanet.or.ke">kictanet@lists.kictanet.or.ke</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><span id="gmail-m_3485518443934628440gmail-docs-internal-guid-15c861bf-7fff-f3f4-bbda-58ce020a5b3c"><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:12pt;margin-bottom:12pt"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);background-color:transparent;font-variant-numeric:normal;font-variant-east-asian:normal;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap">Good morning Listers,</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:12pt;margin-bottom:12pt"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);background-color:transparent;font-variant-numeric:normal;font-variant-east-asian:normal;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap">Thank you to all who contributed to yesterday’s topic.

Our topic today is on the environment which has been powerfully impacted by the internet and Information and communication technologies. They connect people, initiative and resources thus opening up avenues for collaboration. They also help monitor and track the environment facilitating understanding, prevention and more targeted interventions globally.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:12pt;margin-bottom:12pt"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);background-color:transparent;font-variant-numeric:normal;font-variant-east-asian:normal;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap">This track aims to understand the interdependences between the use of Internet and digital technologies to preserve the environment, but also to threaten its sustainability. It will consider how the positive impacts of ICTs for climate action can be enhanced while minimizing any negative impact. Let's talk about climate change, ICTs impact on the environment, leveraging artificial intelligence and big data etc, as we ponder on the below questions:</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-left:6pt;text-align:justify;margin-top:2pt;margin-bottom:2pt;padding:0pt 0pt 0pt 18pt"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);background-color:transparent;font-variant-numeric:normal;font-variant-east-asian:normal;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap">1.</span><span style="font-size:7pt;font-family:"Times New Roman";color:rgb(0,0,0);background-color:transparent;font-variant-numeric:normal;font-variant-east-asian:normal;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap"> </span><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);background-color:transparent;font-variant-numeric:normal;font-variant-east-asian:normal;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap">How can existing and emerging digital technologies contribute to addressing climate change and how can they foster change in various sectors of the economy (manufacturing, trade, agrifood, etc.)?
