We need to transition to a Low Carbon Economy to address global Climate Change, Energy Security, and Resource Efficiency.

Modern society is founded on plentiful reserves of expendable energy, derived from burning (hydrocarbon) fossil fuels. These take millions of years produce and are being depleted rapidly, in the process releasing considerable quantities of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere - triggering dangerous and irreversible climate change.

In a Low Carbon Economy, energy is derived from renewable and low carbon energy sources and energy and resource efficiency is maximized. - Description added by: Toddington

Energy efficiency is widely regarded as the most important first step in making the transition to a low carbon economy. Whilst renewable energy and other measures are also vital components, energy efficiency ensures that valuable energy - whether it be heating, cooling, or electricity - is not wasted. There are numerous energy efficiency technologies, from insulation materials to a plethora of more efficient electrical devices, and more energy efficient vehicles. Explore these pages to find energy efficiency solutions that are right for you. - Description added by: David Lockie
