    The document discusses key topics around climate change: - The goals of the Paris climate accord to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius by 2050 and net zero emissions. - Agriculture accounts for over a quarter of global greenhouse gas emissions, with livestock a major contributor. - It will cost an estimated $2-4 trillion per year to fix climate change through renewable energy and changing to electric vehicles, but the costs of inaction are far greater. - Fast decarbonization requires electrifying everything and creating new clean energy infrastructure and jobs. - The threats of climate change and nuclear war have the Doomsday Clock at its most dangerous point since the Cold War.

    What was the most important event in 2022 ?
    The most important event in 2022, in my opinion, is a personal achievement that I have
    made during summer.
    First and foremost, I wanted to be financially independent so I choose to make a project
    that turns around something that I grow up with.
    To explain, my grandfather was a jeweler so I grow up seeing my family designing jewelry
    and creating beautiful pieces. My mom was always wearing jewelry at events and I was so
    impressed by the quality of metals used and how was the result.
    What would be the most important challenge in 2023 ?

    The world ahead 2023 – From the editor


    Three shocks that shook the world
    Turmoil: a crisis

    Week 4 :

    Climate change :
    2 goals of Paris climate change accord:
    -in 2050 we are supposed to limit the temperature world which will increase for 1,5 degrees
    and 2100 It will be about 2 degrees
    -the goal is a net zero emissions: no more fossil fuels (release carbon dioxide and methane
    which contribute to climate change)

    Scientist were able to measure certain parts of history to tell how much CO2 in the
    atmosphere , levels are stable except for the industrial revolution begins in an extreme
    short time , scientist know its because we start using fossil fuels in factories
    400 parts per million CO2 in the atmosphere
    The climate change is getting harder and harder with extreme heat
    The co2 in atmosphere makes the worlds hotter
    From global warming to climate change
    The climate = whole global system of the northern and southern atmosphere and its
    different from the weather ( day to day)

    CO2 exists naturally but historically it begins with the U-S and now China is the most
    responsible about climate change
    200 years developing economy by using fossil fuels  200 years and after 1950 its US
    Debate about who’s responsible for climate change

    In the 1980’s , scientists discover tipping points  if certain things happen it’s impossible to
    go back ,certain point when ice melts it’ll will not be able to go back

    In 2023 we are at 1,1 degrees , they say we’re going to reach that in 2030 at 1,5 degrees ,
    the ice in Greenland ant Antarctic will reach the tipping point , adds 10 meters of water in
    the ocean

    Methane is 60x more powerful than CO2  increase the temperature of the planet if ice
    melts in northern Russia and Canada

    Who is responsible for climate change ?


    Focused a long time on individuals and consumption, individually
    125 billionaires invest 2,4 trillion stake in 183 companies which are responsible for the
    emissions , their investment are responsible of gas emission
    The richest 10% are responsible for 50% of CO2 emissions

    Since 1988, 100 companies are responsible for 71% of global emissions
    Debate :
    - Oil and gas companies product a big amount of oil and gas because there is a big
    demand

    The world’s militaries are responsible for 6% of global greenhouse gas (planes, tanks,
    boats) , Us military emits as 140 countries , France emits the most gas in Europe

    Agriculture accounts for over a quarter of global greenhouse gas emissions


    Agriculture is the 2nd largest industry responsible of climate change
    Animals living in farms so we can eat them produce the same amount of gas emission as
    planes, boats, cars etc
    Cows and sheep are the worst in gas emission in the way they digest food, its coming from
    were they’re just alive
    It’s a systematic problem and not about individuals

    Week 5 :

    How much will it cost to fix climate change?

    The lowest estimate is 2 t to 4 trillion $ per year


    Th Us government spend 800 billion every single year for military : and total global military
    expenditure is about 2 trillion $
    By 2050, it will have to be 50 trillion$
    Investing in renewable energy : changing carbon vehicles to electric vehicles  reduce
    greenhouse gas emission
    Biofuels (corn, ethanol) and hydrogen
    Gas companies are the cause of climate change , for the last 50 years , they made 3billion$
    profit per year
    In 2010 ,profit was about 2,7 trillion $ per year : the oil and gas industry has delivered

    IMF (fmi)  gas sector receive 5,2 billion$ subsidies per year , subsidies :a tax that are
    giveaway to companies ,uni, , they use this money to reinvest in fossil fuels

    How to decarbonize fast ?


    Saul Griffith studied this question : best way to transition is to electrify everything ,
    electricity come from panneaux solaires , nuclear, and water types of energy
    Creation of 1 billion new machines in order to make everything electric in US
     lots of new job created

    The doomsday clock created by the bulletin of atomic scientists: they realize the weapon
    they have created was the worst thing ever created of humans
    The experts ,say that right now is the most dangerous we ever had since the cold
    war :Ukraine war is a proxy war
