Abstract
The interplay between cyber technology and climate events presents both challenges and opportunities. Recent climate events highlight how multi-hazard disruptions can impact communities. For example, a community already facing an uncontrolled bushfire can experience catastrophic consequences if it simultaneously suffers from malicious cyber activities targeting critical infrastructure. Conversely, advanced digital solutions, such as AI-driven resource allocation, can enhance emergency responses, limit disaster spread, and save lives. Recent incidents, such as misinformation campaigns during the 2019 Australian wildfires, the 2021 ransomware attack on the Colonial Pipeline, and system overloads on crisis-response platforms during the 2025 Los Angeles wildfires, highlight how cyber vulnerabilities can intensify the impacts of climate-related emergencies. This chapter examines the cascading impact of cyber technology on climate and considers the interconnections between cyber, climate, and the infrastructure that supports our societies. It outlines knowns and unknowns, identifies potential biases, and underscores critical information gaps in the context of climate resilience and security planning. Specifically, it considers cybersecurity challenges that can be used to amplify climate attacks and events, and cyber advancements that can enhance the resilience of our physical and social infrastructures against the impacts of climate. We provide practical insights and recommendations to help policymakers address the interconnected challenges of cyber vulnerabilities and climate-related risks. Consequently, this chapter enhances the understanding of how protecting cyber-physical systems can contribute to a more sustainable climate and secure future. The improved capacity for communities to withstand compounded crises, protect critical services, and sustain economic activity underscores the pivotal role that cyber-physical security plays in climate adaptation.
