ABSTRACT

One example is the work that Socolow and Pacala have done on ‘stabilisation wedges’. Examples include: more efficient use of electricity in heating and cooling systems; designing buildings and sites to use less energy; increased vehicle efficiency; improving transport efficiency through better design of cities; increased use of renewable energy; and capture and storage of excess carbon. There are also personal actions that can be taken: save energy in the home; get around on less (reduce transportation emissions); consume less, conserve more; and be a catalyst for change.
