How COVID and the Russia - Ukraine war changed public mood and increased anxiety about all aspects of environment, sustainable living and decarbonisation. What this means for the longer term / future investment in sustainable business. Lecture for Seminarium in Santiago where it has not rained properly for over a decade - severe impacts of climate change. Expect huge shifts to decarbonisation, taking place much faster than most people predicted. Prices of solar cells for example are falling 20% a year. Vast opportunity for solar power to transform energy production across our planet. Electric vehicle sales are doubling every year, while prices are falling. 80% of all new cars in Norway are electric powered. This is good news for nations like Chile and DR Congo who are global suppliers of lithium. Entire new industries will rise out of the war against climate emergency with 100,000 innovations which will impact every industry from retail to manufacturing, logistics and supply chains to aviation, transport, rail, shipping, construction, IT, banking and insurance. Watch out for frozen methane, which is melting at terrible speed in nations like Russia, and could create a tipping point for humanity in tackling global warming. Patrick Dixon is a Futurist keynote speaker on sustainability, green tech innovation, oil and gas, solar and wind power, alternative energies and the shift to a carbon free world.
