Climate change is fundamentally a result of human economic activities. The reintroduction of many billions of tons of fossilized carbon to the atmosphere is the main driver of climate change. Therefore, a drastic reduction of carbon emissions is mandatory for curbing the effects of climate change. A significant contribution to these reductions will be from increases in energy efficiency, both through the application of existing technologies and the development of new technologies.
