The 2050 system: what’s it like
The 2050 system: how we got there
The 2050 system: how we got there
Didn’t wait for “just around the corner” technology
The 2050 system: how we got there
Used systems/technology that worked in 2011
The 2050 system: how we got there
• Instead of “fast follower” “technology-taker” mentality
The 2050 system: how we got there
• Instead of “fast follower” “technology-taker” mentality
• We took control – lead the way
The 2050 system: how we got there
• Instead of “fast follower” “technology-taker” mentality
• We took control – lead the way• Became an example to other countries on
solving the problem
The 2050 system: how we got there• It is not about mobility• It is not about transport
The 2050 system: how we got there• It is not about mobility• It is not about transport
• It was about us as Kiwis
The 2050 system: how we got there• It is not about mobility• It is not about transport
• It was about us as Kiwis– Being able to access the actives we want
The 2050 system: how we got there• It is not about mobility• It is not about transport
• It was about us as Kiwis– Being able to access the actives we want– Goods that we make/need getting to market

• It was about us as Kiwis– Being able to access the actives we want– Goods that we make/need getting to market
The 2050 system: how we got there
• We stopped “encouraging” people to bike/walk and to take public transport
The 2050 system: how we got there
• We stopped “encouraging” people to bike/walk and to take public transport
Instead....• Aggressively pursued an infrastructure
where low/zero energy access was the least cost option
• No more time spent contemplating the roll of fossil fuels in the future
• Only steps towards a fossil free future were taken
The 2050 system: how we got there
Lignite Coal Diesel
CO2
“Take full account of CO2“
“Transitional measure”
• No new roads
The 2050 system: how we got there
• No new roads• Drastic change in funding:
– roads redevelopment
The 2050 system: how we got there
• No new roads• Drastic change in funding:
– roads redevelopment• City streets progressively pedestrianised
The 2050 system: how we got there
• Although some felt that a more measured approach was necessary i.e. the wealth of fossil fuels should be considered....

• Although some felt that a more measured approach was necessary i.e. the wealth of fossil fuels should be considered....
• Given the urgency of the situation, ALL efforts were put into reducing fossil fuel use
