Tech 1.5 - Adapting digital solutions for a +1.5°C world

​As climate disruption intensifies, digital technologies that drive development progress, are increasingly vulnerable to climate shocks. A new report from the Vodafone Foundation and Devex explores how digital development can adapt to a +1.5°C world, focusing on health, education, and disaster resilience. 

​This panel session brings together leaders from GSMA, UNHCR, Humanity Insured, and Vodafone Foundation to discuss: 

• ​How climate shocks are impacting digital tools and humanitarian programmes 

• ​Innovations in early warning systems, disaster response, and climate insurance 

• ​What must change in design, deployment, and partnerships to build resilience 

​Based on insights from 1,130 development professionals, the session will share practical strategies and explore how digital solutions can remain inclusive, effective, and locally owned — even in a rapidly changing climate.
