Abstract: Abstract The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) highlights potential environmental statistics for the world of 2050. No surprise, both India and China remain central to the sustainability dialogue. By 2050, the OECD forecasts a population boom to 9 billion people that will use 80 % more energy than we do today. The primary users of this energy will be China, along with other developing economies. Add to this increases in disease associated with environmental degradation—including a projected doubling, to 3.6 million deaths a year, from air pollution—fresh water scarcity and greenhouse gas emissions growing by 50 %, and the need for change is clear.
