Vision of the Low-Carbon Economy

 This new briefing attempts to paint a picture of what the low-carbon economy could look like. Drawing on the insightful presentations and challenging discussions that took place at the GLTE meeting in London in April, the paper speculates the low-carbon future will be built around five pillars – energy infrastructure, mobility, production and consumption.

After sketching out what each pillar could look like, the paper evaluates the role of some “enablers” – catalyst factors like ICT, finance, regulation and communication on which progress across each pillar fundamentally depends.

The paper finished with some highlights from the closing session of the GLTE meeting, which focused on the role of leadership in the low-carbon economy.
