Abstract

This study fills the crucial crossover between Climate Change Adaptation (CCA) actions and Cyber Physical Systems (CPS) in the transformed environment within the evolving contexts of Industry 5.0 and Society 5.0. Based on field research conducted in various Greek regions, the analysis examines the strategies of adaptation to climate change and compares them based on the use of sustainable technological innovations. It connects climate resilience strategies with governance, stakeholder involvement, and public policy innovation guided by ambidextrous sustainability principles in CPS. It presents the notion of ambidextrous cybersecurity, combined with the Quintuple Helix Innovation (QHI) framework, as it has the potential to drive the sustainable development of CPS. Industry and Society 5.0 must be balanced between technological advancement and human-centered focus. The QHI framework reveals the joint contributions from government, industry, academia, civil society, and the environment when transitioning into the new era. The analysis proposes strategic interventions that would ensure an optimal alignment of the development of CPS in Industry 5.0 and Society 5.0 towards CCA endeavours, and thereby forward future sustainable progression. These insights have significant implications for policymakers, firms, and academics concerned with sustainability transitions, technological change, and economic development.
