Examples: ● Removing atmospheric GHGs at Gigatons of CO2 per year at <$100/tCO2 by 2050; ● Adaptation measures for 1 billion people against the risks of climate- induced weather extremes; ● Protecting 30% of land and water by 2030; ● Feeding 10 billion people ● Access to affordable freshwater for 10 billion people ● Economy-wide energy and resource efficiency ● ….. Flagship Destinations Tech Policy Finance Markets Supply Chains Equity Education Unintended Consequences Develop and launch scalable solutions with external partners along multiple pathways External Partners Identify gaps and risks along possible scaling pathways which, if addressed, can be rapidly scaled up
- 16. North Star Reimagine academia by harnessing all the powers we have—knowledge, education, talent, innovation, resources, solutions, influence—to restore mother earth for our children and grandchildren and improve their quality of life. In the immortal words of Rev. Martin Luther King, we need to do so with the “fierce urgency of now”. We do not inherit this earth from our ancestors We borrow it from our children
