Eileen Claussen Deploying Our Clean Energy Future As for the future, your task is not to foresee, but to enable it. — Antoine de Saint-Exupery The United States and the rest of the world face a momentous choice. It is a choice that will determine the nature of our economies and our climate for generations to come. One option is to continue down our current energy path—relying to a substantial degree on fuels and technologies that will result in ever-increasing levels of atmospheric GHGs. The other option is to chart a new path—a path by which we protect the climate and rebuild our economies by developing and deploying clean energy technologies. The choice is obvious: we must pursue a clean energy future. The consensus among scientists who study the issue is that if we hope to avoid the worst effects of climate change, emissions of carbon dioxide and other GHGs must be reduced worldwide by 50% to 85% from 2000 levels by 2050. In order to do this we must start now, and we must be aggressive. Transitioning to a low-carbon economy in the time frame required will not be easy. If we remain on our current path without significant changes to the way we generate and use energy, global energy-related carbon dioxide emissions are projected to increase 39% by 2030. Over the next two decades, U.S. emissions, which currently account for about 20% of the world’s total, will continue to grow. Meanwhile, emissions from developing countries are projected to increase by 40%. So, how do we create the impetus for broad, across-the-board emissions cuts while still meeting our goals for development and economic growth? Here is what we know. First, and most immediate, we know that a collection of Eileen Claussen is the President of the Pew Center on Global Climate Change and Strategies for the Global Environment. Claussen formerly served as Assistant Secretary of State for Oceans and International Environmental and Scientific Affairs. Prior to joining the Department of State, Ms. Claussen was three years the Special Assistant to the President and Senior Director for Global Environmental Affairs at the National Security Council. She has also served as Chairman of the United Nations Multilateral Montreal Protocol Fund and as Director of Atmospheric Programs at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. © 2009 Eileen Claussen innovations / fall 2009 41
