The report points out the benefits of constructing the energy-efficient buildings and infrastructure needed to underpin the low-carbon global economy of 2050, incorporating low-carbon strategies into municipal-planning processes, and tapping the efficiency-enhancing potential of the Internet. Add to that the declining costs of alternative energy sources and relentless technological advancement, and the world’s carbon-reduction goals do not seem so distant – or costly.
那么，我们如何走上低碳增长路径？报告指出，在2050年前建设作为低碳全球经济基础的高能源效率建筑和基础设施、将低碳战略纳入市政规划过程以及充分利用互联网在增强效率方面的潜力能带来诸多裨益。除此之外，替代能源资源成本将不断下降，技术进步层出不穷，世界减碳目标其实并不遥远，也并不成本高昂。
