Abstract

Digital technologies, such as Geographic Information Systems, remote sensing, artificial intelligence, mobile applications, and participatory online platforms, offer significant opportunities to enhance climate change adaptation, providing advanced capabilities for monitoring environmental changes, predicting climate risks, and facilitating community engagement. Case studies from diverse contexts illustrate how digital tools successfully contribute to effective climate resilience. However, implementing digital solutions faces considerable obstacles, including the digital divide, data privacy and security concerns, and the need for solutions tailored to local conditions. Overcoming these barriers necessitates inclusive policy frameworks, extensive stakeholder engagement, capacity building, and international collaboration. Future adaptation efforts should prioritize continuous learning and adaptable policy frameworks that evolve alongside technological advancements to achieve sustainable, inclusive, and resilient climate solutions.
