Notes"Delaying action [on climate change] is a false economy: for every $1 of investment in cleaner technology that is avoided in the power sector before 2020, an additional $4.30 would need to be spent after 2020 to compensate for the increased emissions."
This quote is from the International Energy Agency’s recent 2011 World Energy Outlook, which points to the huge economic benefits of building clean energy infrastructure ahead of 2020.
For more on the report check out the Guardian, which highlights that “if fossil fuel infrastructure is not rapidly changed [within the next five years], the world will ‘lose for ever’ the chance to avoid dangerous climate change.”
