2. IPPC: "12 years left to take "unprecedented measures” against climate change”

3. International Energy Agency report: World Energy Outlook 2017
Rapid deployment and falling costs of clean energy technologies
The growing electrification of energy
The shift to a more services-oriented economy
A cleaner energy mix in China
The resilience of shale gas and tight oil in the US

4. Year 2040 300 million electiric cars expected on roads
Energy demand will stay at around 105 million BPD – No stop of growth
“The creation of energy efficient structures just determines the possibility of doing certain things with less effort, whilst an existing environmental, social and economic pressure causes that these structures are multiplied and used to do more things.”
Lablanca, Bertoldi:

5. IEA expects global energy needs to expand 30%
Year 2040
Renewables and electrification of transport will not reverse more oil consumption
IEA expects global energy needs to expand 30%

6. IEA - Increased demand for oil

7. More than 10 million bpd from today to 2025
In order to meet expected growth the approvals of conventional oil projects need to double from their current levels
More than 10 million bpd from today to 2025
“a historically unprecedented feat” - IEA director Fatih Birol

8. Result: Runaway catastrophic climate change
Massive destruction of essential ecosystems
and biodiversity
Exacerbated food and water crisis

9. Don´t mourn, commonify energy!
Commons approach
Equitably, sustainably and democratically sharing essential resources
Regenerating what is common
Wisely governing scarce natural resources

10. Urgent Challenges Reduce global demand of oil and coal
Decentralize and make energy production resilient to crisis and extreme climate
Share and allow community control of technologies worldwide
Link the regeneration of the natural commons with a stronger knowledge commons

11. Urgent Challenges
Promote EU development policy oriented toward the energy commons in the global South
Localize general production, commerce and consumption
Institute a localized/regionalized sharing economy with democratic governance

12. Production: 11.80 GWh per year
Affordable electricity generated by wind turbines, solar panels, biogas plants, etc.
partners
contracts
Production: GWh per year
