Beware of the Trap! 6
 “Apart from the obviousness
of this there’s also that other
thing that we might want to
consider - for what
determines how well people
live is economic output per
capita. That total economy
divided by the number of
people who get to consume
the output”
 “North of $50,000 a year in
the US, only just over $5,000 a
year in China, that is after
adjusting for price
differences, and China
would need another three
generations of breakneck
growth to close that gap”

The Perfect Storm Scenario for 2030 8
 It is predicted that by
2030 the world will
need to produce
around 50 per cent
more food and energy,
together with 30 per
cent more fresh water,
whilst mitigating and
adapting to climate
change. This threatens
to create a ‘perfect
storm’ of global events.

Climbing the Energy Ladder 10
 Population and income
remain the key drivers of
energy demand.
 The economic
development of non-
OECD countries creates
an appetite for energy
that can only be met by
expanding all fuels. For
many developing
countries the imperative
remains securing
affordable energy to
underpin economic
development.

The World Bank ranks China in the second bottom quartile for
three dimensions of governance: regulatory quality, rule of law,
control of corruption. On another World Bank gauge – ease of
doing business, which attempts to measure ‘regulation and red
tape relevant to a domestic small to medium-size firm’ – China
ranks 91 out of 185 countries, slightly above Vietnam

second worldwide with
926,000 researchers, second

development intensity ratio
(normalizes its research and
development expenditures
to its GDP size) was 1.1% in
2001, more than double the
amount in 1995.
