This fascinating interactive infographic shows us, by breaking it down into hard numbers, exactly how the world could be running on wind, solar and hydro power by the year 2050. The study not only includes a look at how new technologies can work in all parts of the world, but also addresses the fact that they are scalable; they will provide long term employment to millions of people, including people in the developing world. With hard numbers in play, such as saving 4-7 million lives that would be otherwise lost to air pollution globally in the next decades, the study puts a humanitarian focus on the importance of a global renewable energy plan. Incidentally, the timeline mirrors the ambitious, but achievable one set forth by the Canadian delegation at COP 21 in Paris. Environment minister McKenna put forth that global temperature increases must not exceed 1.5 degrees C, and that a transition to a fossil fuel free economy by 2050 is a major factor in achieving that end.
