Two challenges • Unchecked climate change • Rising environmental costs (droughts, flooding, species loss, wildfires, hurricanes) • Monetary costs of inaction or delay • Risks to public health • Dependence on polluting or risky energy sources • Economic downturn • Recessionary market • Increased global competition • Slowdown of “old economy” • Heavily dependence on fossil fuels
The Choice is Ours Economy Business as usual means missing out on growing markets for jobs in carbon management VS. A ‘green renaissance’ Labor and materials needed for revolution in energy supply, energy use, and greenhouse gas reductions offers largest manufacturing growth opportunity since the launch of personal computers Economy
