- 5. The Vision for 2050
- 6. "Must Haves" for a Sustainable 2050 - A selected set of 40 measures for ten key sectors Doubling of Agricultural output without increasing the amount of land or water used. Cropland efficiency for cereal production to double in Africa. Halting deforestation. 75% of fiber for paper and packaging to be supplied by planted forests ( as opposed to natural forests). Freshwater supply to double in Asia-pacific and Africa. Halving carbon emissions worldwide ( from 2005 baseline) by 2050 with GHG emissions peaking in 2020. This leads to containing average global temperature rise to 2 deg C. Delivering a 5X improvement in use of resources and materials. Incorporating the cost of externalities , starting with carbon, ecosystem services and water. Education to shift fertility rates to around replacement levels.
- 7. Pathways to Vision: 350 Milestones on 10 Tracks: energy, buildings, materials, mobility, economy, people governance, forests, agriculture, ecosystems
- 8. Sustainability at Alcoa PRODUCTION of Aluminum: GHG emissions reduction 44% since 1990 Inert anode in development zero CO2 emissions from Smelter Carbon capture technology. Waste products for water purification. Continuous casting of sheet with 60-70 % less footprint. APPLICATIONS of Aluminum: Light weighting of transport sector ( 6-10% fuel efficiency): From Airplanes to Cars to Trucks Note: 10% fuel efficiency enables 75 billion gallons of annual fuel savings and 600 million MT of CO2 reduction across all transportation segments, globally) Buildings : Eco-clean and smog reduction. 100,000 sq.ft faade = 80 trees Consumer Electronics: Aesthetics and thermal management RECYCLING of Aluminum: Cans, Cars, Building products, consumer electronics Infinitely recyclable: 75% of all aluminum produced in past 120 years is still in use. Uses 95% less energy and produces 95% less GHG than primary aluminum.
- 9. Pathways to a Sustainable Future 1. Proliferation of Best Practices and Efficiencies. 1. Affordable Transformations and their global deployment Generally driven by top-down organizational structures

- 12. Conclusions 1. Global sustainability challenges will become the key strategic drivers for business and innovation. 2. Technology, Business innovation and global collaborations can create pathways to a sustainable world. 3. Business must work closely with governments and society worldwide to transform markets, prices and competition. 4. Vision 2050 lays out the pathways and outlines vast new business opportunities - US$ 6 - 10 trillion annually. We can achieve the Vision: 9 billion people living well, within the means of 1 planet
