ABSTRACT
The progression of the information and communication technology (ICT) sector and sustainable development have accelerated through the innovation and urgent need of finding solutions to cope with global risks. The role of ICTs can be essential in tailoring strategic planning to mitigation and adaptation, as well as emerging applications that could help improve the access to climatic information by providing fundamental support for decision-making processes at local and national levels. The tools and approaches used in ICT have not been extensively used as instruments to advance equitable health-care access, particularly in developing countries. Nonetheless, the science of weather forecasting and climate monitoring, which is critical to reducing such high casualty rates, is being advanced by the development in ICTs. There is a link between changes in extreme weather and climate events’ impacts on public health and the exacerbation of those impacts on the poor populations.
