PwC released a report on Tuesday warning that by 2035, approximately 32% of global semiconductor production could be impacted by disruptions in copper supply due to climate change. This represents a fourfold increase from current levels. The report highlights that key copper-producing nations, such as Chile, are grappling with water shortages that are adversely affecting copper output. Furthermore, most countries that supply the chip industry are poised to encounter drought risks in the future, with no chip-manufacturing region in the world spared from this potential threat.
