Energy, emissions and population
Energy, emissions and population
The biggest challenge regarding emissions, in my assessment, is associated with poor countries.
It is in there that (1) a great increase in population occurs (in the last 50 years Brazil has gone from 90 million to 210 million) and (2) the forests are systematically devastated.
Combining these two factors and one can reach an obvious conclusion: a very important challenge is in the 3rd world.
How to sensitize countries towards plans to tackle these two gigantic challenges that demand population stability and reduction of emissions?
Brazil, for example, only made a statement at Biden's request. I don't feel that there was a commitment (in the Government's budget plans) with a strategy agreed between all the entities of the Federation.

The Energy Central Power Industry Network is based on one core idea - power industry professionals helping each other and advancing the industry by sharing and learning from each other.
If you have an experience or insight to share or have learned something from a conference or seminar, your peers and colleagues on Energy Central want to hear about it. It's also easy to share a link to an article you've liked or an industry resource that you think would be helpful.
