Diana Kool discusses the potential impact of climate change on the global economy and financial markets, focusing on energy sources and the growth of renewable forms
Restoring Earth
Despite heightened awareness of global warming, the proliferation of long-term commitments combined with short-term actions are failing to prevent the spiral towards catastrophic climate change and the continued collapse of biodiversity. As reality bites so does the pressure for more effective collective action to dramatically evolve politics, business and consumption.
This Future Agenda insight explores the challenges ahead and argues that, rather than focusing on the treating the symptoms it would be wiser to tackle the root causes of climate change. For example, by re-thinking mainstream economic principles which are not yet set up to account for the environmental damage that is being created. It suggests that a fundamental new form of measurement is required to ensure that we live within our planetary boundaries.

The great global energy transition - a report from the front lines as of 31st...Jeremy Leggett
If we look at the total system change going on in energy out of context, the picture could be rosy. But in climate-change context, the transition is not going fast enough. And it is held back by the oil and gas industries' diehard advocacy of gas, in a world where the IEA tells us the carbon budget is used up, and no more fossil fuel infrastructure of any kind can be built. This presentation considers how and when Big Oil's rearguard action will stop, and they themselves begin genuinely to transition.
This presentation was delivered at an evening meeting of the Energy Institute's Young Professionals Network in London on 31st January.

Executive summary for "Look Back in Anger" reportSimon Thompson
This is the executive summary for the “Look Back in Anger” global energy forecast. It’s so called because it imagines the reactions of energy industry veterans arriving in 2050 to a net-zero emission world.
Yes, that’s cause for celebration, but why were there so many barriers put in their way? Why did we make it so hard for ourselves?
To get to this moment, instead of looking through the lens of how it has always been, “Look Back in Anger” assumes key tipping points along the way.
It’s a simplified global energy model, from now until 2050 that anyone can use to test their own business assumptions.
The report assumes the effect of official decarbonisation policy in the top 21 countries by energy usage, accounting for about 84% of electricity use.
From there it plots the minimum that will be spent on renewables and builds a picture of the energy world in thirty years’ time.
By definition, this leaves a set of imponderables like:
What is the impact of home-heating and cooling in the age of electrification by 2050?
What happens when solar manufacturers double their capacity and have to sell twice as much, triggering price wars?
What happens when rooftop solar accelerates?
The report is part of the unique “Rethink Energy” research service that offers full access to all previous report plus 12 other new forecasts each year on a variety of topic drawn from batteries, solar, wind, EV recharging, and decarbonising industries like Steel.

Beyond the need for immediate pressure for the empowerment of true democrats, my starter for ten is in the last slide.

UN scientists this week reviewed the impacts of observed and predicted global heating on land, plus adaptation and mitigation response options. This is a vital report, with many life-or-death messages for governments at the climate negotiations, and indeed everyone who worries about the existential threat global heating and climate chaos pose for civilisation and the natural world. I have prepared a slideshow precis / analysis of the the first part of the report, on impacts. In it, I try to make the urgent messages clear, but also the pulled punches that are inevitable in a report written by a huge committee, and subject to bad-actor lobbying. I will cover the policy piece in a later presentation.

This presentation is the basis for my contribution to a panel discussion on climate solutions organised by the New York Times and The Conduit Club in London today. The focus was on China. In the pictures-and-charts slideshow, I first summarise trends in the Chinese response to climate change, which I see as strongly net positive. I then argue that action on climate change in isolation is not enough in the modern world, for China or any other major power. The compound threats we now face from tech and its uses require a holistic approach to security - environmental, economic, and military.
The presentation is derived from the chronology in pictures and charts of selected developments in energy, climate, tech and the future of civilization on my website, Future Today: www.jeremyleggett.net

Unveiling the Secrets How Does Generative AI Work.pdfSam H
At its core, generative artificial intelligence relies on the concept of generative models, which serve as engines that churn out entirely new data resembling their training data. It is like a sculptor who has studied so many forms found in nature and then uses this knowledge to create sculptures from his imagination that have never been seen before anywhere else. If taken to cyberspace, gans work almost the same way.

Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

“on the edge of a fundamental reshaping of finance”.
The oil and gas industry may believe they have a future, but
increasingly major players in the capital markets disagree

But are hopes for energy independence really wrecked, when for example
200+ companies target 100% renewable electricity, by 2028 on average?
2nd Dec
2019
30 RE100 member companies have already reached 100% renewable electricity
and one in three members are now at over 75%. Many more plans are in train.
12. 100% is possible for all energy: e.g. LUT’s global energy simulation stays below the 1.5˚C ceiling
with zero-GHG energy from power, heat, transport & desalination sectors before 2050

with carbon emissions
18. Task 1: Decarbonization. Solar is one of the most potent tools available
….and Solarcentury is a leader in the international use of it
Solarcentury installation on a Sainsbury store
22 square metres of solar PV typically displaces
a tonne of carbon dioxide in the UK
19. We have ridden the wave of solar PV’s amazing exponential global growth. We will continue to
do so, whilst inspiring other survival companies and industries to such growth

20. Task 2: Recarbonization. Not directly relevant to Solarcentury’s mission, but more than ten of
our long-term supporters have backed the founder in a bio-economy project in Scotland
Bunloit: a holistic rewilding carbon sink

free-enterprise capitalism
will depend on delivering
profit with purpose.”
“ ….At times it is necessary

Task 3: Pressure. After the Covid crisis comes a broader context to pressuring the carbonistas:
companies will need to lead reconstruction both with their products, and their purpose
22. We know how to play here. We have long confronted the suicidal defence of fossil fuels, both in
the markets and in society. We will now have the opportunity to do more, more broadly, at scale.
2011: Solarcentury staff protest solar sabotage by a civil service stacked
with oil-industry secondees prior to taking the government to the High
Court …and winning ….three times including appeals.
Even as concerns about global warming grow,
energy firms are planning to increase
fossil-fuel production

24. Imagine this: a company able to rise from the ruins being created by climate criminality and the
virus, yet be a place where Greta and her friends might want to work. We could be that company.
25. The world will never return to “normal” now. The challenge will be to rebound into a (much)
better place. SC has a big chance to be an exemplar in this wider post-Covid fight back.
