<dc:description xml:lang="es">Sumario: The report examines the growing systemic and cascading risks threatening global data centre ecosystems. It highlights how accelerating AI-driven demand, geopolitical tensions, climate change, and emerging technologies like quantum computing are creating vulnerabilities across supply chains, energy grids, and regulatory landscapes. The analysis underscores that data centres, as critical infrastructure, face interconnected threatsfrom trade wars and political instability to resource scarcity and technological obsolescencethat could disrupt economies and digital services worldwide. To mitigate these risks, the report recommends strategies such as geographic and supply-chain diversification, scenario planning, investment in renewable energy and quantum-safe technologies, and embedding circularity principles to ensure resilience, sustainability, and operational continuity in an increasingly volatile environment</dc:description>
