It is an idea on how microwork can be used to empower the developing world in their fight to adapt and combat climate change.

1. USING M2WORK TO COMBAT
CLIMATE CHANGE
community
Remote
automated Semi-
database skilled
weather
stations workers
experts

2. Remote automated weather stations
These are stations that are located within the
that community, they feed the database with
timely information concerning weather
forecasts within that region.

3. Database
The forecasts from the stations are stored in
the database where they are sent to the
experts on climate change together with
experts on farming methods.

4. Experts
These are people who have extensive
knowledge on climate change and
good agricultural practices whose
advice are needed by the community.
Upon receiving the data, they
interpret it and send the information
to the semi-skilled workers who
dwell within the community.

5. Semi-skilled workers
They are trained individuals from that region
who help the community implement the
information from the expatriates. They liaise
with the experts through their mobile phones.
They then transmit the info to the rest of the
community by phone. They also help monitor
the situation on the ground as well as updating
their experts on the progress. Some of them
also help in maintaining the database.

6. The community
They are the people who implement the info from
the expatriates. They could be farmers, fishermen,
small factories etc. They rely on the info so that
they can help combat climate change as well as
reap the benefits of a good environment and good
farming practices. This will help improve their
lifestyles.

7. The benefits
Apart from the main goal which is to combat
climate change and provide an habitable
environment, it will provide employment
opportunities to the semi-skilled workers

8. NOTE
A report published by the world report
resource indicates that the use of remote
weather stations is one of the best ways of
helping developing countries combat and
adapt to the effects of climate change
