Abstract
This chapter discusses different aspects of future global development, as a consequence of the flow analyses presented earlier. Criteria for future development are presented, as well as technology and general policy strategies. The effect of individual life styles or living conditions on per-capita energy demand and emissions is demonstrated with some selected examples. Scenarios for future global CO2 emission and atmospheric carbon inventory are presented which are helpful in setting supranational agreements for future climate change policies.
