At our current consumption rates, Earth’s natural resources are at significant risk of depletion over the next 100 years. Fossil fuels such as oil, coal, and natural gas could be exhausted by 2060 if current trends continue.

Water resources are also under threat, with global demand projected to increase by 50% by 2050.

Additionally, mineral and ore consumption may triple by 2050, putting further strain on the availability of building materials and resources for developing technology products.
