CO-OPERATION
S
E
Cooperating, collaborating, co-producing… TIC 21 is based on the conviction that
new technologies and the information society have a major role to play in the respectful
development of human and natural resources.
ICTs—Information and Communications Technologies—have high and as yet underused
potential for developing and de-materialising exchanges, provided the ICTs are themselves part
of an ecologically efficient process. Because they nurture a knowledge-based society, ICTs are
the keys to a new type of governance—and a more responsible world.To support sustainable
development, this networked world must remain accessible to all and continue to grow, while
also dealing responsibly with its own environmental, health and cultural issues.
The international TIC 21 Forum, organised by ACIDD and its partners in France and across
Europe, provides a venue for encounters and intense exchanges of ideas and information. Its
goal is to bring together players in sustainable development, new technologies and the
information society in a network, so that together they can find new solutions and plan
future actions.
« Our biggest challenge is to reorganise society before dwindling resources force us
towards a society of restrictions »
Jean-Louis Borloo,
Minister of ecology, sustainable
development and planning.
Le Monde newspaper,
28 September 2007.
Mr Borloo will honour us by opening the forum.
Global warming and energy efficiency are the main themes of the 2007 edition
of the international TIC 21 Forum, which is being held at a time in history when new
policies certain to shape our future are being drawn up on a worldwide scale.
By bringing together companies, regional authorities, institutions, associations,
NGOs, the media, universities, scientists and analysts, TIC 21 creates a convergence of players unlike any other in the world.
The main objective of the first two editions of the Forum was to bring the various networks
together. This third edition hopes to provide an opportunity to debate ideas, shed light on
existing technologies, share and implement best practices, further develop local, national
and international strategies and bring major decision-makers from institutions, government, the private sector and the media together in a network.
This Forum is taking place against a very special background: a major nationwide debate
on France’s environmental policy – the first of its kind in Europe – will be held at the end
of October and the beginning of November. Much is expected of this debate, which is being
called the “Grenelle of the Environment” in reference to the 1968 Grenelle Agreement.
The fast-approaching French presidency of the European Union, from 1st July to 31
December 2008, will provide an opportunity to point out the clear convergence of sustainable development and information technologies on the European (or even world) level
and engage in new strategies and actions.
Because research is of vital importance, TIC 21 will receive 15 delegations of scientists
from all over the world. For the same reason, TIC 21 will also be taking the initiative in
creating a multi-stakeholder European think tank.
Local authorities play a major role, so regional governance is also at the heart of the TIC 21
programme.
