Unequally distributed
How many companies provide 71% of the total CO2 emissions in the world?
100 companies

The richest 1% of the world population emits as much CO2 as the poorest half of the world.
The richest 20% of the world population is responsible for two thirds of all CO2 emissions.

Slide 6 - Diapositive

Learning objectives 3.2
  • You know what the most important traditional energy sources are.
  • You know that the energy consumption per capita and the carbon footprint increased explosively for years.
  • You understand why traditional energy sources are not sustainable and why an energy transition is needed.
  • You can use a cross-section to decide whether natural gas and crude oil extractions are possible with conventional techniques.

Slide 7 - Diapositive

Fossil fuels: fuels that originated from plants and animals
Examples: brown coal, coal, crude oil, natural gas

Slide 9 - Diapositive

# You know that the energy consumption per capita and the carbon footprint increased explosively for years.
The climate seems confused. In some cities, it is sometimes impossible to go out on the streets for weeks because of the extreme heat and air pollution.

The energy consumption per capita and the carbon footprint per capita has increased enormously. What are the causes of this?
  • growing population
  • increasing prosperity

Slide 10 - Diapositive

Energy transition: From fossil fuels to energy sources that do not run out (=renewable) and that have zero CO2 emissions.
Energy transition

Slide 11 - Diapositive

Paris agreement (2015): 196 countries decided at the climate conference to limit global warming to well below two degrees relative to the pre-industrial level.
