Loesungsansaetze - Global

Page history last edited by PBworks 16 years, 2 months ago

Die Globalisierung erfordert, dass wir auch unsere Denk- und Verhaltensweisen an globale Anforderungen anpassen. Dabei helfen Beitraege uber die Weltinnenpolitik, und ueber den Global Marshall Plan.

 

Die United Nations sollten die Fuehrung in der Entwicklung einer neuen globalen Politik uebernehmen.  Fuer Informationen ueber Initiativen der United Nations siehe http://unfccc.int/2860.php

 

 

Future International Action on Climate Change Network

This website has been developed by Ecofys upon the initiative and with the support of the Federal Environmental Agency of Germany and the DG Environment of the European Commission. The purpose of this website is to provide an interactive international platform for discussion on future international action on climate change, including approaches of a post-2012 commitment regime under the UNFCCC and the Kyoto Protocol.

The website is targeted to individuals that are active in thinking about future action on climate change such as researchers, climate modellers, members of country delegations to the UNFCCC, NGOs and any other individuals interested in the topic. This is an living website. Any updating information and comments are always welcome.

Increasing energy efficiemcy makes a big difference

Act Now on Climate Change: Go For Energy Efficiency.

http://www.enn.com/lifestyle/article/25396

The latest report on the state of global warming from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change ((IPCC) warns that without action soon climate change may cause abrupt and irreversible impacts.

(Glaciers, like those on Greenland, may experience rapid meltdown and cause sea levels to rise. Once gone glaciers won’t freeze up again. Droughts similar to that now being experienced in the southeast US may be more frequent and perhaps permanent. Populations without water to support them will have to move, never to return.)

Fortunately action could be taken immediately. Energy, of which most of it comes from carbon emitting sources, can be used more efficiently. Changing a light bulb does help.

According to a new study commissioned by the United Nations Foundation, leading industrial nations - the G8 and Plus 5 countries in particular - could avert the most serious climate effects by reducing carbon levels, simply by cutting wasted energy. That is, the nations need to adopt a steady regime of improvements in overall national energy efficiency.

The report - Realizing the Potential of Energy Efficiency: Targets, Policies, and Measures for G8 Counties - says that the world’s most powerful nations need to double their annual rate of improvements in energy efficiency to 2.5 percent per year. If they do that, the report says, the global amount of carbon dioxide and carbon dioxide equivalents in the atmosphere could be kept below 550 parts per million (ppm) not including any additional measures that might be taken. Those efficiency measures would make the goal of carbon dioxide equivalent at 400-450 ppm more attainable. Above 400-450 ppm, scientists predict unavoidable and catastrophic climate change effects.

Those additional measures would be more renewable energies, and perhaps carbon sequestration.

And there’s a benefit to those economies as well.

Doubling energy efficiency would avoid the need for new energy production equal to 2,000 coal-fired power plants. Up to 80 percent of projected new energy expected to be supplied by coal by 2030 wouldn’t be needed in those G8 countries. By 2030 G8 energy demand would be reduced by 20 percent. An investment of 3.2 trillion in energy efficiency programs, technologies and upgrades would be needed, but $ 3 trillion in new power plants could be avoided. The difference - the $200 billion - would be made up by reduced energy bills.

Energy efficiency improvements would pay for themselves in 3 - 5 years, meaning businesses and consumers would quickly see lower energy bills.

A task force of the United Nations Foundation, the Dow Chemical Company and the Alliance to Save Energy has been created to bring together business and nonprofit leaders to work with energy experts and the G8 and Plus 5 countries, in particular, and encourage them to pledge to improve energy efficiency 2.5 percent each year,

act to adopt plans to meet the goal and review progress towards meeting the goals at an annual government summit.
