 Thank you for the invite as we have 10 minutes. I will start straight away Arab is working in a few projects around the world to Reduce the impact and try to demonstrate that you can decouple economic growth from quality of life and environmental impact and I would like to address these around six issues Which are described their flexibility Challenging conventional wisdom system thinking resource efficiency cultural shifts and performance and accountability and I think that the panel that was Before me gave a great deal of a Context of what I how we work and why clients are asking us to work with them but I just wanted to point out that this is the bank that we can never bail out and We've seen a great deal of difficulties already in managing the process that we are undergoing now in terms of financial and economic crisis let alone how hysterical markets will become when we slide into a big problem like Global climate change runaway but I would also like to point out that If you take this piece of information, I think we are quite in a bad shape If we want to take people out of poverty and that's our main aim And that's where we are growing and having this development model. We need 15 planets to do so So before we get there, we will be all dead and this planet won't have people on it So we really need to think hard and fast and how we're going to change our Development model in order to address these issues. I would like to use this very simplified way of understanding it But you understand that the impact on the planet is that it's done by the multiplication of population Affluence and technology and this is what we do today and this is where we want to get to According to the IPCC, which is the best guess we have But if you look at solving that with technology you need to move to an 85% reduction and if you want to increase The element of growth so that people actually have the ability to grow in our in our conventional terms You need a 95% reduction. So the key problem is That link How you decouple that link that I'm pointing there in red Which is a relationship between the growth in the economy and how much emissions or equivalent emissions you put into the atmosphere and This is a very good example of someone that some country that has done this To a degree. This is Denmark 26 years and they have managed to grow 70% their economy without consuming one Kilowatt more of energy. So there are there are some threads some lights there that are helping us to define that so The economic rationale the stand report was mentioned before Talks about 1% around 1% of the GDP to avoid further costs those 18.5 billion US that is Equivalent to 1% of the GDP of at PPP of 2007 in Brazil should be used to modify consumption patterns policy Proposals and how we produce energy how we move around our cities and so on and that should be leveraged by other means of course To give you just a sense of what is happening in in China Which is a part of the world that we're very familiar with these are piece information from McKinsey, so it's not it's not our Arab information, but What basically will happen in China in the next 25 years that you will need to build 75 Shanghai's So if you build those in a conventional way in a business as usual way We won't get there and that's the challenge We all have if you multiply that for China for India You will have the same the same problem most probably and that's how we need to think very fast and hard about how we can Replicate very quickly and have top-down and bottom-up policies to deliver this So talking about projects and the themes challenging conventional wisdom is a key issue addressing an issue like in downtown of a half a million people city that could run on renewables was thought to be crazy and we Welcome the challenge and we demonstrated technically and economically that it was possible to do it at this present time To develop something like that and the basic proposition is to put more people on the side with more activities and because of that Get more revenue out of that process and because of that increase environmental standards of the project so that the actual impact is much lesser than a suburban type of development and I would like to also point out an issue about flexibility, which is the other big topic on this issue because long-term Planning is very difficult to forecast and understand and I will like to read this for you Scientists from the rank operation have created a this model to illustrate how a home computer could look like in the year 2004 I'll show you the computer now That's the difficulty we have to address issues such as innovation and long-term And we need as you you can imagine you can picture a computer You know how better we've done as a collective as a collective group of people to address the issue in a much more efficient way A flexible structure in downtown is about facing technological change and scale so each of the phases is not only driven by the commercial needs or demands of that market, but also by Allowing incremental Technological change so we can't have a phase which is too big in order to Fix infrastructures and technologies so we have to reduce the size of each phase So that we can actually by in 10 years or 20 or 15 years change the technological solution for the low-carbon economy And in order to do that We have a very sophisticated model that it's about resource modeling resource modeling Where we can actually see the impact in terms of land use of all the other elements of the resource Let's say hint of land that are affected by projects And that's the process but the actual project in other case in the UK One of the eco towns is to demonstrate how you can actually create a regional ecology in a new piece of city Which is about growing food locally using that for local consumption then using the Waste of the of the food into the anaerobic digestion Then then goes into the energy plant and then goes back as heat and co2 to increase and accelerate the process of food Generation a close loop a system thinking for cities the same happens in Shanghai in Beijing where we are doing a project for 300 320,000 inhabitants and the same issue is addressed in terms of keeping the local population Empowering them to access credit and technology to improve and increase efficiency of agriculture production for the new population Coming into the city and this is more or less how it looked like But the core of the issue here is reducing in terms of resource efficiency is reducing and a reduction of 65% in Dongtang is achieved by means such as Microclimate careful design and an understanding where the predominant winds and the the main issues about Solar gains so that the city is put in the most optimum location to reduce the heat and the cooling peak loads of the plant that you have to build and A good example of this is the closed loop that we've managed to go through in this project where you pick up the rice husk To produce all the energy for Dongtang you burn it you capture the heat and the electricity You use it for heating cooling electricity and transport you capture the co2 and the heavy particles for different uses within the city I hope it doesn't stop now And another different type of project in there in London where we've we are starting to work with the LDA in a very Challenging project, which is heat recovery of a large thermoelectric power plant in London which will power heating and heating for water and and and and heating the spaces 220,000 homes so taking all the waste heat of an existing thermoelectric plant and using it for Increasing the efficiency of that plant from 35 percent to 80 percent and using it for new developments that are Pointed out there, which are densification of city existing fabric city fabric and that at the end of the day mirroring what one of the presenters was saying before is not only about Efficiencies and resource efficiencies in the economy and the material flows But it is about better quality of life a person in Dongtang living and working there will have 20 days a year at their disposal to do whatever they want and that is increased quality of life It is about also understanding that it makes good business sense narrow roads because less traffic and less pollution means that the development ratio in terms of land to be sold to a Developer is much bigger than what you can sell in a conventional development And at the end of the day accountability and performance are very relevant So a project like Dongtang for example is almost getting to a one-planet footprint By the means that I was describing before and I would like to finish with an Opportunity for this region, which is the fact that Latin America is there today in terms of energy consumption against GDP per capita and that American cities against European cities have that gap in terms of energy consumption And that what we need to do in Latin America is to create the eco infrastructure So that we don't need to go over and above that GDP per capita The gigajoules that we are spending and creating a fantastic opportunity for inward investment and growth for us So the key points are here. You will have them on the presentation But I would like to finish in not to overwhelm you with a fantastic example of a gentleman Which was a student of industrial design in Canada that also took the challenge only as a person and he said I want to improve the people's life that have been mutilated in terms of There the there because of landmines in in in Africa. I said I need to change the relationship of Giving money from the developed world to these people and he he look at the numbers and he said look this Prophecies is 4,000 US or 2,000 US and they can't pay for it locally They can't afford themselves to pay for it So I want to produce a prosthetic leg that actually people can pay for and he managed to do that two orders of magnitude One person focused and thinking hard about how to talk about resource efficiency and affordability And that's what we all need to do in the future to get to a low-carbon environment. Thank you
