Abstract

The following report is geared towards evaluating the use and management of information and communications technologies (ICTs) in Venezuela as one of the ways to resolve the problems that threaten the country’s environmental sustainability. Particular attention was given to the melting of the glaciers that make up the Venezuelan Sierra Nevada as one of the critical issues that affect global climate change. The analysis of the problem allowed for the evaluation of public and private institutions and civil society with regard to the way they are dealing with climate change in Venezuela.
