Tech for Climate Adaptation
Leveraging advanced technology to combat the impacts of climate change.
1. Comprehend risks and opportunities
What are the main risks leaders face and how vulnerable are they to the impacts?
How can technology pin-point impacts on specific businesses, communities, and stakeholders – and help to quanitfy thoe impacts?
2. Build resilience against future impacts
How can leaders leverage technology to build resilience in the short- and long-term?
How will these actions align with current business or operating models – what do leaders stand to gain by building resilience?
3. Respond dynamically
In the aftermath of an extreme weather event or climate-induced disruption, how can leaders leverage technology to respond dyanamically?
Which decisions need to be made to save lives and minimize damage?
How can resources be optimized in response and relief efforts?
Climate Adaptation : Unlocking Value Chains with the Power of Technology
The world is currently heading towards a 2.6-3.1°C rise in temperature over the pre-industrial average by 2100. The unprecedented temperatures witnessed in 2024 made it the hottest year ever recorded. Speeding up the pace of climate adaptation is therefore critical, and technology and collaboration will be decisive in this fight.
Innovation and Adaptation in the Climate Crisis: Technology for the New Normal
The impacts of climate change are increasing in frequency and intensity. Nearly half of the world’s population lives in regions that are vulnerable to these impacts. Virtually every sector of the global economy is exposed to some degree of climate-related risk.
