WHY HUMANS SHOULD LOOK

TOWARDS NUCLEAR ENERGY AS A


CLEANER WAY TO PRODUCE
ENERGY?
• The world will need significantly increased energy supply in the future,
especially cleanly-generated electricity.
• Electricity demand is increasing about twice as fast as overall energy use
and is likely to rise by more than half to 2040. 
• Nuclear power provides about 10% of the world's electricity, and 18% of
electricity in OECD (Organisation for Economic Co-operation and
Development) countries.
WHY SHOULD WE WORRY ABOUT
CLIMATE CHANGE

Reduced crop productivity, associated with heat and drought stress, with strong
adverse effects on regional, national and household livelihood and food security
If you are in the business of lobster fishing, maple syrup, maintaining a ski area,
or wine production (and potentially several other business domains). In that case,
you may find that climate change will lower your production and shift the
locations in which you can operate.
Temperature and precipitation are stronger predictors of the prevalence and
severity of insect-borne illnesses than any other factor, including the prevailing
climate. Dengue, Malaria, Zika, and other mosquito-borne diseases will be more
prevalent in the world
