In the case of the Forge, its landmark status comes as the culmination of many years of thinking and development, and the first embodied proof point of an approach to design and construction that has the potential to transform construction..
Furthermore, the 1.8 degree figure doesn’t include any meaningful increase in global energy access.Gogan says she hopes that’s wrong, because there are currently four billion people in the world who lack access to enough electricity, and 850 million people who lack access to any electricity at all.
In fact, the latter figure is expected to increase to three billion people by 2050.It’s essential that we start addressing where all of this needed energy is going to come from.Eric Ingersoll has conducted analysis which suggests that if everyone on earth had access to just a median level of electricity (about 4,000 kilowatt hours compared to an existing rate of 15,000 kilowatt hours in the U.S.), even then, we’d need to triple our energy infrastructure.
It’s vital that we start taking our rising energy demand into account, and building it into our climate mitigation strategies..Replacing fossil fuels with sustainable energy infrastructure.
Overcoming the climate emergency won’t stop with decarbonising electricity production.
We need to replace our entire global, fossil fuel based energy infrastructure by 2050.This emphasis on the social aspect ensures attendees not only gain knowledge but also foster meaningful connections within the industry.. 5.
2023's unique feature: Live research session.In a move to make the event even more interactive, this year introduces a one-hour live research session.
Here, attendees will explore various contemporary topics like embodied carbon solutions or integrated factory modelling.But it's not just about passive learning; participants will actively engage in live research, directly inputting their thoughts and opinions via their phones..
