      Learning to keep up and adapt with automation and AI technology changes. I think there will be a lot more focus on software and cyber security which will affect more roles in the future.

      I think data capturing. There will be a lot of data created but how to manage and use it to help people might be an issue

      Collecting and handling data well is certainly a big challenge and is going to change how we do our work, but the basic challenges of providing clean water, toilets and energy to the whole world whilst minimizing our impact on the climate and biodiversity are still there and need cost effective solutions.
