Abstract

The easy availability and access to technology has been a major driver of human progress in the 21st century. The biggest advantage it has created is the easy availability of information at human’s fingertips. However, this advantage is neither equally distributed nor available. While the human race in general has been able to use technology to reach even outer space and prepare for various sorts of catastrophe scenarios, the technology and knowledge divide across countries and regions within geographies is also a reality. The fallouts of the climate crisis pose the greatest challenge to the continuation of human existence. While a lot of strides have been made in accurately predicting impending natural disasters, the skill, the expertise and the technology are far from the grasp of the developing world in particular.
