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
