It is central to the delivery of places in which people live, work and socialise, in addition to the connections between these places and communities.

The International Energy Agency modelling predicts a 1.8 degree trajectory, but that figure is based on all of the current commitments being met on issues like deforestation, methane emission reductions, and the updated nationally determined contributions (NDCs).Realistically though, it’s unlikely all of the commitments will be met..

Furthermore, the 1.8 degree figure doesn’t include any meaningful increase in global energy access.Gogan says she hopes that’s wrong, because there are currently four billion people in the world who lack access to enough electricity, and 850 million people who lack access to any electricity at all.In fact, the latter figure is expected to increase to three billion people by 2050.

It’s essential that we start addressing where all of this needed energy is going to come from.Eric Ingersoll has conducted analysis which suggests that if everyone on earth had access to just a median level of electricity (about 4,000 kilowatt hours compared to an existing rate of 15,000 kilowatt hours in the U.S.), even then, we’d need to triple our energy infrastructure.

It’s vital that we start taking our rising energy demand into account, and building it into our climate mitigation strategies..
