1. Solution :
A Sustainable Energy Path For
Application of Energy Policies in a
Climate Change Context

2. The most challenging disaster in the next decades
Climate Change  Global Warming  already occurred

3. Source : Gapminder Statistics

4. The Arctic ice cover in summer has decreased by ~30% since the 1960s

5. Idea: A sustainable energy path for application of
energy policies in a climate change context
The global energy and climate agendas – where are we?
What needs to be changed?
How much needs to be changed? how fast?
How can we achieve change?
A sustainable energy path implies:
• Low environmental and health impacts (Reduction of
GHG emissions and pollution)
• Effective energy markets able to deliver reliable
services
• Less fossil fuels / more renewable technologies
• Improved energy efficiency
• Lower carbon intensity
• Wider access of modern energy
• Convergence of energy use per capita
• Security of energy supply

6. Innovation in the sustainable energy path
It is related to prevention, preparedness and adaptation
Similar project MIGHT be Kyoto Protocol , but it does NOT fulfill all aspects and is NOT as efficient!

7. Filling the gap between technology and market for cutting
energy related CO2 emissions

8. Globalization with reliable and sustainable energy systems
• Ethics – less violation of human rights
• Equity – less disparity between nations
• Inclusion – less marginalization
• Human security – less instability
• Sustainability – less environmental
destruction
• Development – less poverty or deprivation

9. Potential impact (achievements, results)
• Emission Reduction  Stabilization of GHG concentration
• Control, Prevention, preparedness and adaptation to global warming

10. To shift energy systems and mitigate climate change
more than technology is needed
• Political leadership
• Plurality of systems solutions and technologi
• Innovative short and long-term policies
• Market forces and public-private cooperation
• Public acceptance and participation
• Strategic north-south cooperation
Strategic issues influencing the global energy agenda
• Security of energy supply
• Market competition
• Investment needs in energy-supply infrastructure
• Accessibility of modern energy in developing countries
