How climate change sceptics are being forced to act on energy and environment. How economics and activism will drive radical change in business, ahead of tighter regulations. Sustainability keynote speaker

Futurist Keynote Speaker: Posts, Slides, Videos - Future GreenTech, Sustainability Keynote Speaker

Economic pressures from oil and energy prices, and passionate climate change activists, will combine to force rapid change. Climate change science is only a best guess at what life will be like in 50-100 years time. If you want to know the short term future of corporations, government and society -- then look at passion / emotion related to these issues. Impact on manufacturing, logistics, supply chain management, wholesale, retail, production, engineering, emerging markets, outsourcing and offshoring decisions. Questions and challenges to the science of global warming, sustainability, resource depletion, food shortages and so on -- are being swept away by passions and choices of consumers / customers which are driving political action.

Solving the Water Crisis: Smart Innovation - Future Water Supplies. How to reduce average 1000 cubic metres of water per person used a year. Future water shortages and solutions. Water and utilities keynote speaker

Futurist Keynote Speaker: Posts, Slides, Videos - Future GreenTech, Sustainability Keynote Speaker

An average person in the world uses 1,000 cubic metres a year for growing food, hygiene and drinking – equivalent to 40% of an Olympic swimming pool.

Yet 4,000 children die every day because the water supply is unclean and 40% of the world do not have access to tap water – even though many of them own a mobile phone.

If the poorest nations gain a standard of living equivalent to wealthy nations today, then water demand will be three times the figure of 3,350 cubic kilometres seen in 2000.

True Cost of Global Warming - Economic Impact. Why action on climate emergency makes strong economic sense, and why tackling climate change could cost far less than many think. Sustainability Keynote Speaker

Futurist Keynote Speaker: Posts, Slides, Videos - Future GreenTech, Sustainability Keynote Speaker

The truth is that there are very few solid facts when it comes to global warming science.  Loads of data, loads of opinions, loads of theories and models of the future, but very little history.  And that is what we need more of to be 100% sure. Extreme statements and dire warnings have already gripped the imagination of billions of people.  But what is the truth? 

What is the real evidence linking carbon dioxide to climate change, and how can we be sure this is mainly due to human activity, and not some massive over-reaction drummed up by eco-freaks and business speculators.  How hot will things really have to get before there is a catastrophe?  Are we already too late to change the future?

CARBON DIET to save the World - Future Action

Futurist Keynote Speaker: Posts, Slides, Videos - Future GreenTech, Sustainability Keynote Speaker

The 10 step Carbon Diet to save our future

Expect much of our world to adopt a strict carbon diet.  As with any diet you can eat what you like from time to time.  It’s the overall balance that really matters.  So with carbon dieting we can expect people will make choices.  We may chose for example to continue to burn a lot of carbon in planes, but still be carbon-light because so little carbon is used in future in heating our homes or driving our cars.   CARBON DIET - 10 letters in the two words describe 10 steps.

Cost of global warming - how to tackle the climate emergency. Future Green Tech Innovation - search for green power. Geopolitical conflicts and future wars linked to climate change pressures. Sustainability Keynote Speaker

Futurist Keynote Speaker: Posts, Slides, Videos - Future GreenTech, Sustainability Keynote Speaker

Just 10 major innovations could reduce global carbon emissions by at least 25% by 2030, assuming very little political or economic change or major shifts in consumer behaviour. These are rough estimates with allowances for variable take-up in different parts of the world. Evidence linking human activity to climate change is now very compelling to most politicians, activists and opinion-formers world-wide. Regardless of whether the science turns out to be correct or not, it is emotion that will determine government action and business strategy. Munich-Re has estimated that action against global warming could cost 1% of global economic activity (GWP). It sounds huge but is only same as the world economy stalling for three months and then carrying on for the next three decades at the normal rate of growth.
