Summary
From a global point of view, climate change mitigation is an even
bigger challenge than (future) scarcity of fossil fuels
In terms of an overarching strategy, decarbonization is therefore the
dominant issue → 1t CO2/y/cap is a much more robust and meaningful
target than 2‘000 W/cap
Key to a successful transformation path (both global and regional) will be
the simultaneous decarbonization of the electricity and the transportation
sector
For that to happen it will take not less than several decades and it will
require
coherent policy effort (costs)
a careful selection of (and cooperation in) mission critical research and technology areas
