A weakness in much environmental data is that it represents only an interpretation of performance, and can therefore be unreliable. A lack of transparency around the audit trail of data is also an issue. A trio of emerging technologies may overcome these limitations.
Software-driven innovation will be at the heart of creating a climate-secure future. Here are five predictions about what its role will be to accelerate sustainability over the next five years.
