The World: 4°C Warmer ● Climate is the number 1 risk Top agenda item for business Humans have already warmed the planet by 1°C At 4°C, the world's population will shrink 50% The journey from 1°C to 4°C will be chaotic Information Management can reduce CO₂ emissions by 10% opentext™ No one knows exactly what this world will look like, but models provide insights into forced human migrations and our future power generation Arctic passage With no sea ice, this valuable shipping route is open all year, providing transportation links beween habitable zones in Canada and Russia Canada Reliable precipitation and warmer temperatures provide ideal growing conditions for most of the world's subsistence crops South-west US Desertification led to the last inhabitants of this region migrating north. The Colorado river is a mere trickle. The land is used for solar farming and geothermal energy Peru Deglaciation means this area is dry and uninhabitable Western Antarctica Unrecognisable now. Densely populated with high-rise cities Food-growing zones/ Compact high-rise cities Uninhabitable desert Greenland Greenland's ice sheet will be melting rapidly North Africa/Middle East/ Southern US Solar Energy Belt stretches for thousands of kilometres, employing a mixture of photovoltaic and solar thermal energy. At frequent intervals a high voltage direct-current substation sends power north Amazon Desert Patagonia Melted glaciers revealed a new arable zone, although the poor soils needed preparation Scandinavia/UK/Northern Russia/Greenland Compact high-rise cities would provide shelter for much of the world's population Uninhabitable due to floods, drought or extreme weather ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ S Africa Mostly desert, though some models show greening of the Sahel Source: Earthly Mission Crew Potential for reforestation Southern Europe Deserts have encroached on the continent, rivers have dried up and the Alps are snow-free. Goats and other hardy animals are kept at the fringes Asia Most of the Himalayan glaciers have melted, with repercussions for many of the major rivers in the region. Bangladesh is largely abandoned, as is south India, Pakistan and Afghanistan. Isolated communities remain in pockets Land lost due to rising sea levels, assuming a 2-metre rise Siberia Reliable precipitation and warmer temperatures provide ideal growing conditions for most of the world's subsistence crops ● Solar energy Southern China Dried rivers and aquifers mean this region has been abandoned. Intense monsoons have helped erode the land, leaving a dustbowl Australia In the far north and Tasmania, compact cities house people and crops are grown. The rest of the continent is given to solar energy production and uranium mining for nuclear power :::: Geothermal energy Polynesia Vanished beneath the sea • New Zealand Unrecognisable. This densely populated island state has high-rise cities and intensive farming Wind energy
