Resource Scarcity

We humans consume more natural resources than are available to us. They include finite materials (e.g. minerals, ores for industrial metals, phosphorus, sand, fossil groundwater, etc.), renewable resources (e.g. food raw materials, fish stocks), as well as the quality of the soil, the health of the plant and animal world and biodiversity.

Digitisation

The term digitization covers all forms of technically networked digital communication such as broadband communication, the Internet of Things, artificial intelligence, Big Data, e-commerce, smart home or Industry 4.0.
