👉 Threatened engineering refers to the critical infrastructure and technological systems that underpin modern society, such as power grids, water supply networks, transportation systems, and communication networks. These systems are essential for the functioning of economies, public health, and safety, yet they face significant threats from climate change, cyber-attacks, aging infrastructure, and resource depletion. The degradation or failure of these systems due to these threats can lead to widespread disruptions, economic losses, and even endanger lives. Addressing these challenges requires proactive measures, including investment in resilient infrastructure, robust cybersecurity protocols, sustainable resource management, and international cooperation to ensure the continued reliability and security of these vital systems.
