- The Great Energy Transformation: Why We Can’t Avoid a Low-Carbon Economy0.05 MB
This report, by Heinrich Böll Siftung Southern Africa, says that the failure to reach a global deal in Copenhagen may be music to the skeptics’ ears. For them, it is the death of the carbon-constrained world as they see it.
The failure of global collective action may mark a certain departure point: the idea that a low-carbon economy idea or transition, as concept and action, is incapable of staying alive. This is no nearer to the truth than saying that the earth is flat.
What may be a failure globally looks very different from what is happening within the national context. Practically speaking, most of the developed and emerging economies are having to grapple with the idea of a low-carbon economy in one way or the other.
It is an ‘inconvenient truth’ staring them in the face.
