Bologna 2021 - Convegno Nazionale "La grande transizione"

2. Relazioni di scenario 57 out looking vaguely similar to a carbon budget that’s consistent. And those are huge changes because India hasn’t finished its growth process. Ten years from now, it will look like China. So the countervailing force, which is the speed of the greening of the economy and increasing of its energy efficiency, has to run against, against, that set of growth projections, most of which are probably going to come true. I say it not because I think we can’t do it but because it’s very easy to underestimate the magnitude of the challenge and the speed with which we have to lower the carbon intensity of the global economy. For your entertainment, I’ll leave these behind (Slide 12, page 64). It’s a picture of floods in the last little while. So let me stop there. My conclusion is that these powerful trends are expanding the opportunities for the next generation of leaders in business, in science, in medicine, in technology, if you like your successors. I’m 77 but longevity is rising. And so I’m kind of hoping that I’ll be around to have a chance to see at least part of this come to pass. Thank you.
