5-the lion’s share of the energy powering our civilisation goes toward maintaining the systems we already have in place. But growth isn’t just an option—it’s a necessity. Without it, the survival of our civilisation hangs in the balance.

4-The 6.4% reduction in CO2 emissions corresponded to a 3.1% reduction in global GDP. This suggests an approximate elasticity of emissions to GDP of around 2.1 (i.e., a 1% drop in GDP led to a 2.1% drop in emissions).

3-This was the worst global recession since the Great Depression of the 1930s.Advanced economies experienced a sharper decline (e.g., Eurozone: -6.4%, U.S.: -3.4%), while some emerging markets were less affected (e.g., China grew by 2.3%).

2- Total global CO2 emissions fell from about 36.7 billion metric tons in 2019 to 34.3 billion metric tons in 2020.
According to the International Monetary Fund (IMF), global GDP contracted by approximately 3.1% in 2020

The basis is non-equilibrium thermodynamics, which may sound daunting, but these concepts underlie our lives. I think the animations led by Michael Fardos really help develop an intuitive understanding of economic growth and decline. I hope you enjoy
