Following on from the failure of COP27 and recent events that seem to show that our models underestimated climate sensitivity to CO2 by at least an order of magnitude, it appears that climate chaos is unavoidable. How we build everything from now on will have to have resilience built in at its core, but this is very different to the way we have previously thought about technology. This talk aims to describe some of the problem space and how the presenters experience with disasters and crisis has shaped some of their work in the payments technology space.
