Today the world faces a common, and increasing, challenge: rising average global temperatures and significant climate change. The solution requires rapid, large scale, changes to infrastructure, energy management, industry, transport, and the management of land and water resources - globally! In terms of conventional wisdom this appears to be a paradox: is it really possible to make such widespread changes globally and rapidly, without significant disruptions to economies and societies? Probably not: a conventional approach might fail! If we are to succeed then an innovative approach will be paramount. The following document outlines unique innovative concepts that could be essential.
Sustainability: no process can be sustained forever. Therefore, a more helpful approach might be to categorise levels of sustainability.
The purpose of the multi-goal project is to minimise potential disruptions and to turn it around so that projects provide multiple positive outcomes, and win-win solutions.
An innovation should be efficient and effective, and it should not introduce additional negative impacts (on the environment or society).
An open and accurate, global, environmental rating system could encourage and accelerate the pace of new solutions to climate change.
Start, in this decade, by focusing on the largest contributors to climate change: the largest national polluters, and large / global corporations.
The global impact of global corporations should to be accounted for.
We need an innovative approach that is able to quickly deploy large scale solutions, at relatively low cost.
An environmental tax or a climate impact tax.
Concrete clarity and agreement will be required on the goals if the COP26 event is to have a chance of kickstarting significant global progress in this decade.
Prevent a small, but significant, amount of solar radiation reaching the Earth.
Forests have a big role to play here, along with their important role in land based ecosystems, water management, and agriculture.
We need to deploy renewable energy solutions much faster, and at a lower cost.
Zero emission vehicles represent part of the solution.
