Major leaps in the evolution of human civilizations have occurred in the face of changes in energy paradigms: from traditional biomass (wood, charcoal and straw), to coal. From coal, to oil and natural gas. In between, hydro, nuclear, solar and wind power have made inroads. But as Vaclav Smil points out in this #FutureTalks<\/a>, today, more than 80% of all energy consumed in the world comes from fossil fuels (coal, oil and gas). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Decisive and urgent actions are needed if we want to move towards a net zero world<\/strong><\/a>. The first step is to create a new energy narrative<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the expert Atul Arya<\/strong><\/a> explains, narratives are the starting point for changing individual and collective behavior<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Atul Arya was a speaker at our last Future Trends Forum<\/a> Building a net zero world<\/em><\/strong>. He is Chief Energy Strategist at IHS Markit<\/a>, a leading provider of economic information and now part of S&P Global. In his role, Atul studies and analyzes current thinking on energy technologies, climate change, renewables and, in general, energy transition strategies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In his conference, he explains what should be the new energy narrative that will drive a behavioral change and allow us to move towards a net zero world: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
