Towards a Low Carbon Economy.

A New Path to a Low Carbon Economy

Is there really a scalable, low carbon alternative?

In an age of climate change, several countries are demonstrating how to move to a low carbon economy.

The world faces a long voyage before it reaches a low carbon energy system.

But astonishingly, it is coal, the dirtiest fuel, that is experiencing the sharpest increase in use.

Option 2 Low carbon development in the transport and industry sectors

reduce fuel consumption and CO2 emissions of road transport

For years , this has stymied progress in the United States towards a low carbon economy.

The CO2 tax is the main instrument for limiting CO2 emissions from the transport sector.

Here are seven policy steps that EU heads of state can take to embrace the low carbon economic future

Mexico is not alone in adopting a national strategy for the transition to a low carbon, resource efficient green economy.

Germany doesn t have a low carbon alternative if it shutters its nuclear plants, and the same is true of most other countries.

Indeed, the world is witnessing an extraordinary mobilization of national level projects and policies that are shifting economies onto a low carbon path.

Road transport in these areas is stated to be relatively a low risk activity and UNHCR has negotiated a lower premium.

Let s roll up our sleeves together and plot a viable pathway to a safe and effective low carbon economy.

Currently, transportation systems account for nearly a quarter of the world s energy consumption and carbon dioxide emission.

Powerful interests will, of course, oppose any low carbon transition, dismissing and often drowning out those who stand to benefit.

Two neighbors in Europe, Germany and France, are showing the way forward or, more precisely, the alternative ways forward to a low carbon future.

They can and should go hand in hand what we need is climate resilient, low carbon growth.

Just to illustrate what to do about the nub of the problem, namely, light vehicles, here are four ultra light carbon composite concept cars with low drag, and all but the one at the upper left have hybrid drive.

As yet, however, these are small in scale and localized and it is unlikely that such schemes will have a major impact on the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.

Transportation emissions are close behind, contributing about one third of U.S. production of carbon dioxide.

In the shipping sector, domestic ferries and passenger ships have been subject to the CO2 tax since 1992.
