Houston we have a problem! Peak oil Peak soil Peak water Peak biodiversity loss Peak population Peak GDP Climate Agriculture Energy Biodiversity Poverty & development And it is urgent!

Transport… Can result in 2 billion passenger cars in 2050 Tripling compared to 2000
The current global energy systemis dominated by fossil fuels.

GHG emissions vs. global temperature…; little disagreement about the impact of a 6 oC change.. [IPCC-SRREN, 2012]

What to do? Do something Despair or …. Use your climate toolkit
The BLUE Map Scenario – Towards a low-carbon energy sector BaselineScenario – business-as-usual; no adoption of new energy and climate policies BLUE Map Scenario - energy-related CO2-emissions halved by 2050 through CO2-price and strong support policies Serves as basis for all IEA Technology Roadmaps 23% of global emission savings occur in the transport sector
Historical Development of Global Primary Energy Supply from RE (1971 – 2007). [IPCC-SRREN, 2011]
Global RE supply by source in Annex I (ANI) and Non-Annex I (NAI) countries in 164 long-term scenarios (2030 and 2050). Thick black line = median,Coloured box =25th-75th percentile,Whiskers = total range across all reviewed scenarios. [IPCC-SRREN, 2011]

Costs available RE technologies vs. fossil energy costs. [IPCC-SRREN, 2011]
RE costs have declined in the past and further declinescan be expected in the future. [IPCC-SRREN, 2011]

Final remarks Business as Usual: likely given the current governance capabilities; it’s correctional force and collateral damage may be impressive. Global Governance; preferred and to be pursued; but will it deliver on time? Smart economics: economic superiority for sectors, countries, households…; connects to current system capabilities and psychology. Develop (niche) markets and market volume. Divert fossil fuel subsidies (budget neutral). Rock solid innovation strategies backed by macro-economic interests: THINK ASIA!!!.
