PIRSA:11060111

Born from a unique, international energy summit of scientists, engineers, entrepreneurs and future leaders from around the world, the Equinox Communiqué offers visionary proposals for transformative action on reducing the electricity-related emissions that drive climate change. Through a series of mini presentations, Summit participants discuss the Equinox Summit: Energy 2030 and explain the six main recommendations outlined in the Equinox Communiqué. These speakers lay the groundwork for a year-long global impact phase, including the release of the detailed and transformative Equinox Blueprint: Energy 2030. Speakers include: Jatin Nathwani, Jason Blackstock, Jakob Nygard, Yacine Kadi, Lauren Riga, Robin Batterham, Zoë Caron, Maria Skyllas-Kazacos, Marc McArthur, Bill Rosehart, Felipe De Leon, Kerry Cheung, Aaron Leopold, and Cathy Foley

From the buildings we live in to the places we work — we use a lot of energy to keep our habitats lit, warm and efficient. Is there a better way? Energy experts participate in a moderated discussion presented live on TVO’s The Agenda with Steve Paikin. Speakers include: Cathy Foley, Maria Skyllas-Kazacos, David Keith, Jatin Nathwani, and Terri Meyer Boake
Technology, Energy and Nature - Human Values and Open Choices

David Keith

June 08, 2011

PIRSA:11060105

As humans, we have developed technologies to control energy transformations from agriculture to nuclear weapons. Increasing technological ability has co-evolved with increasing intensity of energy use and growing complexity of our civilization. These forces have shaped our environmental footprint and our very conception of nature. It's tempting to believe that physical limits constrain our energy and environmental choices as never before; but Dr. Keith argues precisely the opposite: our growing technological leverage makes access to energy and materials cheaper, opening up our options for co-existing with the natural world. These options force us to confront hard choices about our values. Should we treasure nature as it is, or purely as an instrument to human welfare? Our growing ability to engineer the planet makes these choices ever more pressing. David Keith holds the Canada Research Chair in Energy and Environment, and is a Professor at the University of Calgary and Adjunct Professor at Carnegie Mellon University. He has worked near the interface between climate science, energy technology and public policy for twenty years. His work in technology and policy assessment has centered on the capture and storage of CO2, the technology and implications of global climate engineering the economics and climatic impacts of large-scale wind power and, most recently, the land footprint of energy technologies.

Civilization Far From Equilibrium - Energy, Complexity, and Human Survival

Thomas Homer-Dixon University of Waterloo

June 07, 2011

PIRSA:11060106

Human societies use complexity – within their institutions and technologies – to address their various problems, and they need high-quality energy to create and sustain this complexity. But now greater complexity is producing diminishing returns in wellbeing, while the energetic cost of key sources of energy is rising fast. Simultaneously, humankind’s problems are becoming vastly harder, which requires societies to deliver yet more complexity and thus consume yet more energy. Resolving this paradox is the central challenge of the 21st century. Thomas Homer-Dixon holds the CIGI Chair of Global Systems at the Balsillie School of International Affairs in Waterloo, Canada, and is a Professor at the University of Waterloo.

Energy Transitions

Vaclav Smil University of Manitoba

June 06, 2011

PIRSA:11060107

Energy transitions: a future without fossil energies is desirable, and it is eventually inevitable, but the road from today's overwhelmingly fossil-fueled civilization to a new global energy system based on efficient conversions of renewable flows will be neither fast nor cheap. Distinguished Professor and author Vaclav Smil explores technological transitions of past, present and future that are critical for understanding how to shift to a low carbon future.
