Dear all,
In line with our global push for deep and rapid decarbonisation to meet the 1.5 C challenge set by the ratified Paris Agreement, Dr Sven Teske from University of Technology in Sydney (UTS) will give us an overview on the study he and colleagues provided recently on the occasion of the World Economic Forum, January 2019 in Davos, on meeting a 100% renewable energy target by 2050, the radical energy efficiency improvements, necessary investments into renewable gases, storage and grids in line with a 1.5 C carbon budget by 2050 with the One Earth Climate Model. And the 500 pages plus study published by Springer is open access. The study was developed by about 20 scientists and took about 2 years. For my personal feeling, this is best on the market.

Sven is a long term comrade, friend and ally for and with CAN, having worked for Greenpeace about 25 years and championed the groundbreaking “Energy (R)evolution” scenarios in last decade. Sven is certainly among the top 3 best experts globally on renewable energy scenarios in context of strong climate policies, sustainability and carbon budgets.
Please fill in the doodle by 23 May latest indicating when you have time to listen to Svens presentation. https://doodle.com/poll/qaqfvtdz3ni6cu5k
We will have about 30/35 minutes presentation and 30/35 minutes discussion. I will chair the session for CAN.
Thanks
Cheers
