Strong Sustainability by Design
The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Planet Positive 2030 Initiative is composed of several hundred participants from six continents, who are thought leaders from academia, industry, civil society, policy and government in the related technical and humanistic disciplines.
Over the past few months a Compendium was developed to identify specific issues and recommendations regarding sustainability and climate change challenges to achieve “Planet Positivity” by 2030, defined as the process of transforming
society and infrastructure by 2030 to:
• Reduce Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions to 50% of 2005 GHG emissions by 2030.
• Significantly increase regeneration and resilience of the Earth’s ecosystems.
• Be well on the path to achieving net zero GHG emissions by 2050 and negative GHG emissions beyond 2050.
• Continue to widely deploy appropriate technology as well as design and implement new technological solutions in support of achieving technological solutions designed and deployed to achieve “Planet Positivity.
