2. INTERNATIONAL ENERGY AGENCY AGENCE INTERNATIONALE DE L’ENERGIE The global climate challenge Stabilising the global climate requires greenhouse gas emissions to be reduced  If atmospheric concentration is to remain under 550 ppm (i.e., double the pre-industrial level), GHG emissions should peak no later than 2030. Eventually, global emissions must decrease to much lower levels than today’s  Will require near-zero emissions for a significant proportion of fossil fuel use and growth of non-fossil energy technologies.

5. INTERNATIONAL ENERGY AGENCY AGENCE INTERNATIONALE DE L’ENERGIE We’re not on track: rising energy-related CO 2 emissions Global emissions grow more than 50% between now and 2030, with developing countries’ emissions overtaking OECD’s in the 2020s. ref: IEA World Energy Outlook 2005

7. INTERNATIONAL ENERGY AGENCY AGENCE INTERNATIONALE DE L’ENERGIE But this is not enough... Technologies do exist that together have the potential to stem the growth of CO 2 emissions. But their uptake requires deployment policies that give the right market incentives. Examples of measures which can be taken now:  IEA 1-Watt Initiative could reduce standby power consumption by about 10GW – about 20 power plant units – in the OECD alone.  A new IEA publication Light’s Labour’s Lost estimates that more than 30% savings in electricity demand can be achieved if least cost lighting options were adopted.

8. INTERNATIONAL ENERGY AGENCY AGENCE INTERNATIONALE DE L’ENERGIE But this is still not enough... Technology opportunities No one solution, but some features are clear:  accelerating energy efficiency improvements can make a difference in the short and long term;  CCS is crucial in the medium and long term, but needs full- scale demonstration and a price on CO 2 emissions;  renewables are key for long-term sustainability, but must be cost effective;  nuclear should contribute more – where accepted – but must improve technology and waste handling. Need to pursue a “portfolio” policy approach for technology R&D and deployment.
