Challenges Ahead
SLIDE 9
Climate Change
SLIDE 10
- Signed by 197 countries in December 2015, and aims to limit
global warming to 2°C or less.
- Entered force on 4 November 2016, after 55+ countries
representing 55%+ of greenhouse gas emissions had ratified it (118 countries covering 80% of emissions have now ratified).
- Requires emission cuts of 40-70% by 2050, and by the end of
this century for sources to match sinks.
- Ratifiers have agreed to reduce their emissions from 2020, and
to operate an “ambition mechanism” to review and make further cuts every 5 years. There is also a “global stocktake” in 2023.

Technological Solutions
The challenges we face are great, but so too are the new possibilities that appear when we look at old problems with new and fresh eyes. These possibilities include technologies capable of pulling us back from the brink . . .

The New Industrial Convergence
SLIDE 48
- Increasingly, all industries are going to be
working with the same kinds of technologies.
- So whether you are making a F1 car,
supplying food, manufacturing consumer goods, or practising medicine, the same kinds
- f digital-to-physical skills will be required.
- The future will be delivered by those who
address great challenges using such skills.
