In the context of environmental policy, climate change usually refers to changes in modern climate (see global warming). For information on temperature measurements over various periods, and the data sources available, see temperature record. For attribution of climate change over the past century, see attribution of recent climate change [Source: Wikipedia]
ICT can support efforts to mitigate climate change impact on population, utilities and infrastructure through scenario-based prediction, simulation, training, etc.
Climate change is addressed in the ICT work programme 2011/12 (p. 109, 117) under the following challenges/objectives:
> Future and Emerging Technologies (FET)
Objective ICT-2011.9.13 Exa-scale computing, software and simulation
Objective ICT-2011.9.14 'Science of Global Systems'
