Source: Adapted from Karl, Melillo, and Peterson 2009.
Note: Orange bars indicate temperature above the 1901–2000 average, blue bars are below averagetemperatures. The green line shows the rising CO2 concentration. While there is a clear long‐ term global warming trend, each individual year does not show a temperature increase relative to the previous year, and some years show greater changes than others. These year‐ to‐year fluctuations in temperature are attributable to natural processes, such as the effects of El Niños, La Niñas, and volcanic eruptions.

• Global subsidies to petroleum products amount to some $150bnannually.
• Public spending on energy research, development, and deployment (RD&D) has been $10bn for decades, apart from a brief spike following the oil crisis (4% of overall public RD&D).
• Private spending on energy RD&D, at $40bn to $60bn a year, amounts to 0.5% of private revenues
• A fraction of what innovative industries such as telecom (8%) or pharmaceuticals (15%) invest in RD&D

A ban on gasoline‐ propelled motorbikes in several urban areas of China in 2004—which coincided with technological improvements in electric motor and battery technologies, faster urbanization, higher gasoline prices, and increases in purchasing power—boosted the electric bicycle market from a mere 40,000 in 1998 to 21 million in 2008

In order to enhance action on development and transfer of technology we decide to establish a Technology Mechanism to accelerate technology development and transfer in support of action on adaptation and mitigation that will be guided by a country‐driven approach and be based on national circumstances and priorities.

Phases of Talks Phases of Talks FFrom Rio to Copenhagenrom Rio to Copenhagen
1. UN Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro (1992)– produced the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change.
2. Kyoto Protocol (1997)– a detailed 20‐page legal document– did not really include the rapidly‐growing developing countries; i.e.,
“emerging economies,” such as China, India, Brazil, South Africa, Mexico, and Korea.
– Lack of serious attention to the long‐term path of emissions
3. Copenhagen Accord (2009)– a general 3‐page political statement– a framework for addressing both deficiencies (BICs, LT path of emissions)– Expands the coalition and extends the time‐frame of action – All 17 countries of Major Economies Forum ( 90% of global emissions)
participate. – Each nation registers to abide by its domestic climate commitments

ConclusionsConclusions• In the coming years, climate change will pose increasing global threats• There is a correlation between rising energy prices and recessions. • Due to different levels of development, G‐7 and BRIC economies have
different interests. • Economic development is vital to lift the remaining billions out of
poverty; addressing issues of global warming and energy is critical to sustain growth.
• Innovation can facilitate the reconciliation of development and sustainability.
• Clean technology is emerging as a growth sector, but it requires the interplay of government policies and firm strategies.
• The Copenhagen conference provides a potential platform for change. It highlights the need for cooperation among both G‐7 nations and the BRICs.
• Today, the “business as usual” trajectory is unsustainable. It is increasingly costly, inefficient and destructive. The 2C trajectory is vital, but it can only be realized through cooperation.
