Technology underpins nearly every aspect of daily life. Each year, more than one trillion semiconductors are sold, while over 11,000 data centres power everything from streaming services to the more than two billion daily prompts sent to AI models.
Yet this growth depends heavily on finite natural resources and increasingly fragile systems. Climate change and nature loss are intensifying physical risks—from water stress to extreme weather—posing growing threats to the sector’s resilience and continuity.
This report sets out seven priority actions for technology leaders, and shows how nature-positive strategies can unlock financial value, from recovering metals for new products to reducing costs through lower energy and water use.
