AND FAN GANG
The Commission has focused on three drivers of growth that affect every sector of the economy: resource efficiency, infrastructure investment, and innovation. There are major opportunities in three socio-economic systems: cities, land use, and energy systems. These three systems are crucial to the economy and emissions and can unlock multiple economic, social, and environmental benefits.
Note: Cities include urban transport. Land use includes forests. Innovations include economy-wide innovation
The urban share of the global population is expected to rise to 70% by 2050, with 90% of this growth coming in developing countries. The way that this urbanisation takes place will disproportionately affect both the economy and climate. Globally, $3 tn could be saved through 2030 by developing more compact, connected, and coordinated cities.
To summarise – what are the key elements?
UPDATED GRAPH (10 December 2014)
Comparing Atlanta and Barcelona demonstrates what is possible through compact, coordinated, and connected urban development. Uncoordinated sprawl leads to higher costs of infrastructure, public service delivery, and transport. Urban sprawl in the US alone adds about $400bn per year. Compact, connected urban development – higher densities, mixed-use neighbourhoods, and walkable/transit-oriented environments – can unlock more productive and climate-friendly cities.

Solar PV module prices have fallen 80% since 2008 and now cost half of what they did in 2010. At least 53 solar PV plants over 50 MW were operating by early 2014 in at least 13 countries; rooftop solar for homes is competitive with retail electricity prices in Australia, Brazil, Denmark, Germany, and Italy.
Note: This chart shows indicative levelized costs for solar photovoltaics from 1990 to 2012, with the costs for the best utility-scale project in 2013-2014 indicated (Austin Energy in Texas). The precise level is indicative of typical costs for utility-scale projects in relatively sunny regions. Actual costs can vary up or down by at least 50% depending on solar resources, and even more with local cost of capital.
Assuming 17% capacity factor, and 9.25% cost of capital.
New materials have made wind turbines bigger, stronger, and more efficient. Today’s turbines produce more power per land area used and dollar invested. In 1990, wind power was 3-4x more expensive than fossil fuel electricity, but onshore wind is now on par with or lower than fossil fuels in Australia, Brazil, Mexico, South Africa, Turkey, and the US. Further innovations, such as digital technology that enables “smart wind” that can be more easily integrated into electric grids, make it even more feasible and attractive.

Nest (top left) is an intelligent thermostat that learns your schedule and adjusts heating and cooling accordingly. Since October 2011, Nests have saved 2 billion kWh. Google is also driving energy efficient data centres and operations – their data centres use 50% less energy than the typical one. They have invested over $1 billion in renewable energy projects and are pioneering autonomous vehicles.
