Abstract	Changes in precipitation, temperature, glacial melt patterns and sea level rise are being seen as increasingly affecting the world’s ecosystems and natural resource base. Recognizing the value of information available from the broader community and also the changing framework of traditional knowledge and local perceptions, an integrated approach to building knowledge based scientific information is proposed through the use of effective ICT based tools and strategic information databases and networks. Technological advances have a major role to play in developing a sound, efficient, and sustainable pathway for a region or country in the face of increased economic growth. The increasing conflicts arising between economic growth and natural processes or green ecosystems can only be bridged if sustainable and innovative technologies are adopted for sharing information and diffusion across different sectors of society. The present chapter explores the use of some of the current state of the art technologies like ICTs including tools like Remote Sensing and GIS as a means for providing sound and efficient decision making across various sectors.
