Codifying sustainability
Gavin Starks

As government policies, multi-nationals, utilities and tech innovation collide, wouldn't it be a good idea if we got some of the foundations right?

Amnesty International digital activism in the global South: challenges and opportunities
Naomi McAuliffe
Amnesty International is growing its presence and campaigning in the global south and is looking to deploy innovative digital techniques to connect to activists in developing countries. This presents many opportunities and challenges and this talk will be asking the audience to help with the solutions. How do we verify crowd-sourced information on human rights abuses? How can we ensure information collected digitally can be viewed and used by people on the ground? What tools do activists on the ground need to utilise the digital tools available? This talk will also include examples of digital activism from our corporate accountability campaign. http://www.amnesty.org.uk/
