Resilience in the Digital Age: Emerging Technologies for Climate Adaptation
摘要
This chapter examines how breakthrough technology can address climate change and promote sustainability. It begins by reviewing climate change and emphasizing the need for prevention. According to the chapter, improved materials, blockchain, and artificial intelligence may be used in climate adaptation. These technologies can boost agricultural yields, reduce water consumption, and boost food security in a changing climate. Precision agriculture, hydroponics, and vertical farming may transform agriculture and ensure sustainable food production. Energy companies emphasize intelligent grids, energy storage, and renewable energy technology as key to a low-carbon economy and energy resiliency. These technologies help reduce greenhouse gas emissions and provide a sustainable energy future by switching from fossil fuels to renewable energy. It also monitors and manages climate-related threats using digital platforms, big data analytics, and IoT devices. These tools simplify adaptive decision-making, early warning, and community resilience. According to the chapter, enterprises, governments, and communities must work together to use new technology efficiently. It emphasizes the importance of inclusiveness, data privacy, and ethics when employing new climate adaptation technology. The chapter finishes by highlighting the transformative potential of new technologies to create a sustainable future and calling for coordinated efforts to maximize their benefits and resolve related concerns.
