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:
