We discuss separate and integrated approaches to building scalable solar power plants and wildlife sanctuaries. Both solar power plants and wildlife sanctuaries need a lot of land. We quantify some of the requirements using various estimates of the rate of solar power production as well as the rate of adding wildlife to a sanctuary over the time range 2010-2050. We use population dynamics equat...

This study develops water footprint scenarios for Europe for 2050, at the country level, based on projections regarding population and economic growth, production and trade patterns, consumption patterns (diets and bioenergy use) and technological development. The objective is to estimate possible future changes in the green, blue and grey water footprint (WF) of production and consumption, to ...

There will be more than twice as many old people aged over 80 years old in 2050 than there are now (Figure 1). The share in the population will rise from 3.9% in 2010 to 10% in 2050 across OECD countries; and from 4.7%to 11.3% across 27 EU Member States. Between one quarter and one half of them will need help in their daily lives. Yet governments are struggling to deliver highquality care to th...
