Vision

Context

Human pressures on the Earth’s ecosystems and climate, unless mitigated substantially, will cause dangerous climate change, massive species extinctions, and the destruction of vital life-supporting functions.
Yet, effective ways of mitigating emissions of greenhouse gases (GHG) such as CO2 are available. There is a growing consensus that emissions can be reduced without damaging prosperity in either the developed or developing world. Reducing emissions will require a transformation of our economies but not giving up on growth.

Vision

Futureproofed wants to help being a factor 10 more efficient with energy and resources by 2030. This is absolutely necessary to counter the threat of climate change and collapsing ecosystems.
A factor 10 by 2030 means a yearly efficiency increase of 5%.
To achieve this we will need to make choices for a change. No, we don’t need to go back to history.
Factor 10 is a choice for a more attractive, affordable, profitable and comfortable future with a higher standard of living for more people.

Climate and environmental change are an opportunity to

• reduce our impact on climate and environment

• reduce our dependency on fossil fuel and natural resources

• enable decoupling of economic growth from climate change and environmental pressure to ensure future economic growth

• design an attractive, affordable and sustainable future
