    Description: 2015 saw a historic double success for sustainability and climate policy. The 2030Agenda for Sustainable Development, with its Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs),and the Paris Agreement on climate protection establish a system of ambitious policygoals for the world. The group of twenty major industrialized and emerging economies(G20) now needs to resolutely advance implementation of both agreements, seizingthe opportunity of this ‘Great Transformation’ to sustainability as a unique modernizationproject that offers substantial economic development opportunities. Completedecarbonization of the world economy by 2070 at the latest can only be achieved byprofoundly transforming energy systems and other high-emissions infrastructures. Thistransformation could inspire Innovation and channel Investment into sustainability andclimate protection, e.g. into sustainable Infrastructures that need to be established andexpanded. At the same time, the transformation could combat inequality and promoteInclusion within societies and globally, thus becoming an equity project. The G20, as acentral global actor, should specifically promote the Four Big ‘I’s of sustainability andclimate policy to ensure that conflicts over resources and their distribution are defusedand international crises avoided. Sustainable development, and in particular globalclimate protection, is currently the only ambitious undertaking that involves all theworld’s nations and resulted in a global consensus. Achievements in this enormous,complex policy field enable countries to establish mutual trust, making the ‘GreatTransformation’ to sustainability also a peace project. Germany’s G20 presidency canset a decisive course for this future programme.
    Description: Im Jahr 2015 gelang ein historischer Doppelerfolg für die Nachhaltigkeits- und Klimapolitik.Die Agenda 2030 für nachhaltige Entwicklung mit ihren Sustainable DevelopmentGoals (SDGs) und das Übereinkommen von Paris zum Klimaschutz definieren einehrgeiziges globales Zielsystem. Die Gruppe der zwanzig wichtigsten Industrie- undSchwellenländer (G20) sollte jetzt die Umsetzung beider Abkommen entschlossenvorantreiben und die Große Transformation zur Nachhaltigkeit als einzigartigesModernisierungsprojektwahrnehmen, das erhebliche ökonomische Entwicklungschancenbietet. So ist etwa die vollständige Dekarbonisierung der Weltwirtschaft bis spätestens2070 nur mit einem tiefgreifenden Wandel der Energiesysteme und anderer emissionsintensiverInfrastrukturen umsetzbar. Die Transformation inspiriert Innovationenund lenkt Investitionen in Richtung Nachhaltigkeit und Klimaschutz, u. a. in die auf- undauszubauenden nachhaltigen Infrastrukturen. Gleichzeitig kann die Transformationgenutzt werden, um Ungleichheit zu bekämpfen, also die Inklusion innerhalb derGesellschaftenwie auch global voranzubringen, und so zum Gerechtigkeitsprojekt werden.Die G20 als prägender Akteur sollte diese „vier großen I“ der Nachhaltigkeits- undKlimapolitik gezielt fördern, so dass Ressourcen- und Verteilungskonflikte entschärftund damit internationale Krisen verhindert werden. Die nachhaltige Entwicklung,insbesondereder globale Klimaschutz, ist gegenwärtig das einzige ehrgeizige Vorhabenbei dem alle Nationen der Welt beteiligt sind und einen Konsens erreichen konnten.Durch Erfolge in diesem Mega-Politikfeld können Staaten gegenseitiges Vertrauen aufbauen.Die Große Transformation zur Nachhaltigkeit wird so auch zum Friedensprojekt.Die deutsche G20-Präsidentschaft kann für dieses Zukunftsprogramm entscheidendeWeichen stellen.

    Description: Energy transformation towards 100% renewable energy is economically inevitable, and socially and environmentally desirable, yet it may produce negative signals in outdated statistics as fossil trade diminishes and the sector shrinks. This paradoxon should be addressed in a joint report by, e.g., IRENA, IMF, OECD, andthe World Bank, and the Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures.Fossil fuel extraction and commodity trade will end, and fossil asset values erode. The industry’s role in capital formation, international trade, economic activity (GDP), and government revenue will decline. New energy systems, based on efficiency, renewables, storage, and smart management are cheaper to build, run and maintain. Growth of electricity use stimulates innovation, value creation, and growth in consumer rent, as renewable energy technologies harvest free environmental flows that are not traded and often for self-consumption. Total utility will grow while trade, GDP and the tax base may shrink. Reports should inform G20 Leaders, Ministers of Finance and Central Bank Governors on the true costs and benefits, and alert them to misleading signals.
