How cities can lead the way toward a low-carbon future
Cities around the world currently account for two-thirds of global energy consumption. By 2050, some 70 percent of people will live in cities. If cities embark on a low-carbon development path today, global greenhouse gases could be 30 percent lower in 2050 than they are today. These are just a few of the insights highlighted in a recent infographic created by the World Bank. So, what does this ...

Getting out of the CAR: decarbonisation, climate change and sustainable society
The search for a sustainable civilisation - an essential concomitant of dealing with global warming - will be driven, in part, by the 'normalisation' of a low–carbon lifestyle. To date, most research and discussion of this transition have centred on technological fixes and their economic equivalent, 'getting prices right'. Although both approaches seem to point to reduced levels of consumption as ...
