Climate change, food security, and the role of technology in community resilience
The climate crisis is no longer a distant threat but a present reality, manifesting as increased droughts, unprecedented floods, and the degradation of critical ecosystems. While the global community has mobilized to develop technological and financial solutions, progress towards true, systemic clim...

| description | The climate crisis is no longer a distant threat but a present reality, manifesting as increased droughts, unprecedented floods, and the degradation of critical ecosystems. While the global community has mobilized to develop technological and financial solutions, progress towards true, systemic climate resilience remains uneven and often superficial. A central barrier to effective action is the persistent disconnect between the large-scale, often abstract, solutions developed by international bodies, governments, and technology firms and the specific, complex, and culturally-rooted needs of the communities most affected by climate change. This gap has led to a cycle of well-intentioned but ill-fitting interventions that are met with resistance, low adoption, and ultimately, unsustainable outcomes.
The global effort to combat climate change and build resilience is consistently hindered by a fundamental disconnect: the imposition of top-down technological and policy solutions that fail to align with the hyper-local, socio-cultural realities of affected communities. This report posits that overcoming this systemic barrier requires a radical shift from a model of imposed solutions to one of genuine cо- creation. The analysis, drawn from an extensive review of interviews with leading experts across diverse domains, identifies that a lack of context-specificity, a deep- seated deficit of trust, and an extractive approach to data and knowledge are the primary obstacles to progress. |
