The 2022 #StrategicForesight Report: We must avoid a dependency trap when it comes to #rawmaterials. Without them, there simply is no green and digital transition.
If Europe fixes its shortcomings, recycling could become their major source by 2040.

Sustainability and digitalisation must become a perfect marriage.
Technologies available today may get us through to 2030. But it's tech currently at the experimental, demonstration or prototype phase that is vital for our 2050 climate neutrality.

Digital technologies help us achieve climate neutrality. But their widespread use is also increasing energy consumption or e-waste.
With our 2022 #StrategicForesight Report, we take a deeper look at how best to align our twin objectives.
