Girardet H., Mendonça M. A Renewable World: Energy, Ecology, Equality. A Report for the World Future Council

Green Books Ltd., 2009. – 256 pp.In this book we are trying to address a number of urgent issues in a holistic way, acknowledging
that those alive today have a greater responsibility to future life than any generation before – because of our unprecedented numbers and the enormous global impacts of our
ubiquitous uses of energy and technology. These issues prompt questions such as:
- How can we decarbonize the global economy by implementing enabling policies and business practices as well as changes in personal behaviour patterns?
- How can we make clean, eicient, renewable and decentralized energy the basis for a new, sustainable global economy?
- How can we prevent run-away climate change, assure secure livelihoods for all, and restore the world’s natural lifesupport systems?
