Climate change and global problem The biggest challenge in 21 century Basic elements- water, foods, health,
environment. 332 millions people could be homeless 400 millions people facing malaria 600 millions people facing innutrition 1,8 billion people facing shortage of water in 2080 Serious ecological crisis in South Asia and
North China Nick Stern www.sternreview.org.uk
◦ Annual Cost and risks = 5% GDP ◦ Expenses on reducing GHGs = 1% GDP
. 10
Germanwatch – Report on Risk Index of Global CC 2010
10 most vulnerable countries include:◦ Bangladesh, Myanmar, Honduras, Viet Nam, Nicaragua,
Haiti, India, Dominican, Philippine and China◦ Low –income countries: The poor suffer most
1990 – 2008 period:◦ 11.000 floods, typhoons, droughts ◦ 600.000 dead◦ Economic loss: US$ 1,700 billions
11
Most likely and serious Impacts
3,000 km coast line
Sea level rises as the key impact
12
WB report - Problem from CC in Viet Nam Sea level rises 20 cm in the last 50 years 500 dead per year US$ 1.5 billion (1,5% of annual GDP) 80% farmers living in rural areas with agriculture
livelihood Threats for millennium objectives, sustainable
development and poverty reduction The poor suffer twice Vietnam is the second biggest rice exporter
13
Coming Threats Scenario 1: If the rise is
65 cm- 12.8% of Mekong River Delta will be covered
14
Threats for Viet Nam
Scenario 2: Sea level rises 33 cm in 2050 and 100 cm in the next 100 years◦ 90 % of Mekong River Delta
will be covered. (40,000 sq. km) .
◦ 5% of total land will be covered
◦ 11% of households become homeless
◦ 5% rice production decreased (5 millions ton)
◦ 10 % of GDP will be lost15

Sustainable Development (SD) Back on Agenda
UN Millennium Development Goals were committed to by every country in 2000
In 2015, every country will have committed to Sustainable Development Goals, reflecting both advances, gaps as well as emerging opportunities
Research for Sustainable Development is a framework currently
This will be the new paradigm for international cooperation in research at all levels: R4SD
IT, mobile computing, esp. mobile learning plays a dominant role.
18
Mobility and Mobile Learning in Sustainable Development (SD) A vast new opportunity Rise of mobile devices in developing
countries unprecedented phenomenon (in spread of a suite of tech- in scale and pace)
Many developing countries consider mobility a new “frontier” in economic development
A number of requirements can only be addressed through blends of local and global innovations

Mobile Server
Key requirements for SD Providing services using basic and smart
phones
Hybrid online/offline services◦ Access to net is advancing but not fast enough◦ Access shifting to mobile devices (Meeker, May 2014)
Mobile devices to distribute goods and deliver services◦ m-PESA (mobile payment): “scratch on the surface”◦ Farming and health are big sectors◦ Education at all levels (mobile learning): even
bigger 52
Focus on Mobility in SD LMC-UBC: LIVES+ demonstrated in
principle the use of basic phones and smart phones/tablets for interactive awareness raising among farmers
LMC-COL: Aptus (tested in 15 countries) shows the potential of “Mobile Server”◦ For distribution of digital documents and videos
in ‘000s to users/students in “unconnected” areas
53
Mobility (Mobile Learning) Platform for Global Collaboration for SD
Opportunities for young professionals in US/Canada to visit frontline RD centers in developing world
Young professionals in US/Canada get to work with current and emerging leaders in R4SD in developing countries
Basis for future recruitment to Universities and for new business collaboration
54
Initial project Idea UBC via MITACS in partnership with LMC
and COL could bid for a project with Canada Department of Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development (DFATD)
Focus on mobile learning: mobility for enhancing access to education (formal and non-formal) and training (skill-oriented)
Participating countries (e.g. Vietnam) and institutions (NTTU and VNU) can be identified based on DFATD, MITACS and NAFOSTED priorities
55
LMC/UBC –COL-NTTU as Strategic Partners
COL: a huge network of development partners across 53 countries, built and sustained over the last 25 years◦Training & capacity building: core strengths
Four Ministers of Education on COL’s Board LMC-COL: Mobile Servers LMC-UBC: Suite of technologies in mobility Oher partners ? NTTU, VNU, ICST Sponsors ?: DFATD, NAFOSTED, MOET, MOST

Mobile Learning for Sustainable Development
in VietnamConclusions
Mobile Learning (ML) increases interactive awareness among farmers Mobile Learning (e.g.LIVES) improves lives ML improves empowerment (thus equity) Mobile devices allow for goods and services access/delivery ML essenial for life-long learning (L3) Weather forecast notification, emergency alerts Mobile Learning essential for SD in Vietnam
57
Mobile Learning for Sustainable Development
in VietnamChallenges
Technical challenges: infrastructure, cost, hdw/sw International collaboration Policy (mobile payment, mobile commerce) Acceptance and penetration of ML to farmers Vietnam committed to SD (economy, healthcare, education, agro-forestry, tourism, eGov, etc.) Need concerted efforts, projects and initiatives Mobile Learning essential for SD in Vietnam Key to enabling globalization and SD movement
