Environmental Conundrum-Projections to 2050

Ira Sohn

Foresight: The International Journal of Applied Forecasting, 2020, issue 57, 39-45

Abstract: Sohn discusses global policy debates, accomplishments, and challenges as we enter the third decade of this century. Topics include the providers of global energy forecasts, energy intensity, the 2015 Paris Agreement, baseline projections, and the electrification of life. In the new global energy regime, considerable progress has been made, though projects do not presently meet goals. Sohn states that further progress can be accomplished when engineering and economics are more sound and when politicians are brave enough to defy the special interests that try to influence them.
