I just checked out the ‘A World You Like. With a Climate You Like.’ It is worth a look! The EU Commissioner for Climate Action, Connie Hedegaard, puts it pretty nicely in a short film and the following text.
"Building a climate-friendly society is without
doubt a big challenge, but it is also a huge opportunity. Making our
society low-carbon will create new, green jobs and cutting-edge
technologies. It will give us lower energy bills, comfortable and modern
homes, cleaner air and more mobility. The low-carbon economy is about a smarter kind of
growth. About getting more out of less. And if we start now we can make a
smooth and cost-effective transition whereas the bill will rise if we
postpone action.
A low-carbon society is not a distant Utopian
vision. We already have many of the necessary technologies. The real
challenge is to apply them and bring them to scale. And all of us can
help with that. Fighting climate change is about creating a world
we want to live in, a world we're proud to present to our kids. If we
continue with business as usual, climate change can reach dangerous
levels in the coming years and its consequences are already being felt
around globe. But we can prevent that by taking action now."
