Renewable energy will set new records, generating large majority of power needs. The biggest change would be for the lives of people in poor countries, which will improve faster in the next 15 years than at any other time in history. And their lives will improve more than anyone else’s.

WE SEE AN OPPORTUNITY AND WE WANT TO MAKE THE MOST OF IT. We’re putting our credibility, time, and money behind this bet — and asking others to join us — because we think there has never been a better time to accelerate progress and have a big impact around the world. Some will say we’re irrational to make this bet too. A skeptic would look at the world’s problems and conclude that things are only getting worse. And we shouldn’t lose sight of the fact that a handful of the worst-off countries will continue to struggle. But we think the next 15 years will see major breakthroughs for most people in poor countries. They will be living longer and in better health. They will have unprecedented opportunities to get an education, eat nutritious food, and benefit from renewable energy products. These breakthroughs will be driven by innovation in technology — ranging from new vaccines and hardier crops to much cheaper smartphones and tablets — and by innovations that help deliver those things to more people.

The rich world will keep getting exciting new advances too, but the improvements in the lives of the poor will be far more fundamental — the basics of a healthy, productive life. It’s great that more people in rich countries will be able to watch movies on super hiresolution screens. It’s even better that more parents in poor countries will know their children aren’t going to die. It is fair to ask whether the progress we’re predicting will be stifled by climate change. The most dramatic problems caused by climate change are more than 15 years away, but the long-term threat is so serious that the world needs to move much more aggressively — right now — to develop energy sources that are cheaper, can deliver on demand, and emit zero carbon dioxide. The next 15 years are a pivotal time when these energy sources need to be developed so they’ll be ready to deploy before the effects of climate change become severe. Ryan Cant is investing time in this work personally (not through our Non-profit) and will continue to speak out about it. We’re excited to see how much better the world will be in 15 years. Here are some of the breakthroughs we see coming. 1. 2. 3. 4.

Renewable energy products will help the poor transform their lives. Africa, Central America, and South America will be able to feed itself. Child death will go down, and more disease will be wiped out. A call for global unity.

It’s time to prove wrong the widely held stereotype about renewable energy only being for rich countries. Energy sources in Africa, specifically Kenya, have diversified since 2000, when renewable power capacity contributed 5.4 per cent of the country’s total energy mix. By 2012, this figure had grown to 16.2 per cent. With smart planning and prudent investment, all African countries, and poor countries around the world, can reduce their dependence on fossil fuels and leapfrog into a sustainable future. And, as Africa makes the transition to renewable energy in the coming years, new projects will provide much-needed jobs and power economic growth. Many of the poorest countries are blessed with plentiful land and natural resources. Prodigious sunshine blankets the continents for much of the year, ideal conditions for solar power. Hot rocks in areas store geothermal energy. Vast plains and mountain ranges are great sites for wind turbines while mighty rivers can be harnessed for hydropower projects. Finally, biomass is abundant – all providing multiple opportunities for renewable energy production.

This vast potential of renewable energy can be realised with effective cooperation and successful projects that cross borders. This will help the world to triple its production of renewable energy by 2050 and avoid catastrophic climate change. Just as importantly, this is all possible while taking the continent to new levels of prosperity.With the world population expected to reach 9.6 billion by 2050, poor countries are currently at a crossroad.

“Africa, will need another 250 gigawatts of capacity between now and 2030 to meet the demands of its quickly growing populations and economies.” Countries can either power its surging growth with fossil fuels, which would put the world on an unsustainable path to climate change, or it can fuel development with vast renewable energy resources. The solution to providing that energy and keeping prices in check is to tap into clean, reliable, indigenous, affordable and abundant renewable energy sources. Renewables present an economically and environmentally beneficial framework to power the continent’s growth. Scaling-up the worlds energy infrastructure to accommodate the growing energy demand is necessary, but scaling it up in a smart way to include more renewable energy in the energy mix is paramount. Steps for Mankind’s initiative encourages the deployment of hydro, geothermal, biomass, wind and solar options around the world to increase capacity, stabilise the grid, and reduce fossil fuel dependency. It is a regional approach, promoting international cooperation across countries power pools to develop vast energy resources, optimise the energy mix and attract more investment. The plan identifies development zones to cluster renewable plants in areas with high potential, resource planning, new financing models and knowledge and capacity building. With the right combination of policy, investment and rapid deployment, we can make substantial progress in decarbonising the world’s energy mix while generating growth and employment. Until now, many of the poorest countries growth has mostly been powered by fossil fuels. However, these countries now have the opportunity to continue their growth and to thrive and emerge with confidence and prosperity in a cleaner way than ever.

Is renewable energy only for rich countries? Absolutely not – with good planning and intelligent frameworks for international cooperation, We are working hard to prove this stereotype wrong, once and for all.

In the next 15 years, however, innovations in farming will erase these brutal ironies. The world has already developed better fertilizer and crops that are more productive, nutritious, and drought- and disease-resistant; with access to these and other existing technologies, African farmers could theoretically double their yields. With greater productivity, farmers will also grow a greater variety of food, and they'll be able to sell their surpluses to supplement their family's diet with vegetables, eggs, milk, and meat. With the right investments, we can deliver innovation and information to enough farmers in Africa to increase productivity by 50 percent for the continent overall. Agricultural extension, the process by which farmers get information — what seeds to plant, how to rotate crops to protect their soil, how to get the best prices at market — is complicated and expensive. Traditionally, it requires highly trained agricultural experts who know the local language and local crops in every region of vast countries. Agricultural extension also tends to be geared toward male farmers (for example, it may focus on the crops that men tend to grow), even though women do at least half of the farm labor in Africa. This is one reason women farmers are kept from being as productive as men, even when they have equal access to seeds and fertilizer. Investing in extension so that it helps more farmers in more places — women as well as men, smallholders as well as more commercial farmers — is the only way to reap the full benefit of innovation. One promising trend is that, as more farmers have access to mobile phones, they will be able to receive all sorts of information, from weather reports to current market prices. 8

Information needs to reach as many farmers as possible, because the challenges farmers face are growing more difficult. Population growth in Africa means they'll have 200 million more people to feed. And over time, climate change will make farming more difficult, with more droughts and more floods. Bigger variations in the weather will mean both more bumper crops and more poor harvests — which makes raising productivity and improving food storage crucial. If farmers can grow and store more food, they'll be in a better position to ride out the lean years. There are other limitations besides productivity that keep Africa from feeding itself. The lack of infrastructure across the continent, for example, means that it's almost impossible to move food to the places it needs to go. (The most extreme case: The Democratic Republic of the Congo is the size of Western Europe, with a population of more than 60 million, but it has fewer than 2,000 miles of paved roads — the same amount as any middle-sized Western European town.) Trading within the region can be so difficult that it's often easier to fly food in from other continents than to drive it a couple hundred miles. But countries are building better roads. Ghana has recently cut travel time through its interior by two thirds, simply by widening the highway that connects its agricultural heartland to the airport and seaports. Countries like Senegal are removing the constant checkpoints that make overland transportation so burdensome. By growing more varied and nutritious food and getting it to the people who need it at the right time, Africa, Central America, and South America can achieve food security by 2030. It will still import food when it makes sense to do so, but it will also export much more, eventually achieving a net positive trade balance. Famine will strike less often — and when it does, it will be presiding countries that will take care of their own response. Improving agriculture, the backbone of the "Third World" economy, can drive massive poverty reduction and improve life across the continent.

UNTIL RECENTLY, THE WORLD WAS SPLIT IN TWO. In one half, virtually all children were vaccinated, received clean drinking water, had sufficient nutrition, and received proper treatment for common illnesses like diarrhea and pneumonia. The number of children in this half who died before they reached the age of 5 was well under 1 percent.

Then there was the other half. Here, vaccination coverage was spotty at best, children tended to be malnourished, and standard childhood illnesses went untreated. About 10 percent of these children died before they turned 5; in some countries that percentage was much higher.

Constructing sustainable Solid Waste Management systems (SWMS) is one of the avenues to decrease disease. By constructing innovative Waste to Energy Systems (WtE), we can decrease the disease that we are continuously in contact with. Also, by creating recycling programs we can improve health conditions and improve local sustainability initiatives. Therefore, access to innovative waste management and clean drinking water is fundamental to our sustainable development for 2030. These initiatives can help decrease the percentage of illness and death each year. When we started our Organization, we were looking for the most strategic ways to help equalize the two halves of the world. We thought that if the world put a little more innovation behind saving the lives of poor children - we could make a lot of progress When we look at the progress the world has made in the past generation, since 1990, we believe global health equity is an achievable goal. Increased investment in health care has led to better coverage with the vaccines and treatments that were already available, and intensified R&D has led to the development of new vaccines and treatments. The percentage of children who die before age 5 has been cut in half.

SO WHAT WILL IT TAKE TO MAKE SURE THAT THE LIVES OF THE POOR IMPROVE FASTER IN THE NEXT 15 YEARS THAN EVER BEFORE? As we said earlier, it will take innovation in technology and in ways to deliver it to the people who need it most, which is what our Non-profit Organization works on. There’s another crucial factor: informed, passionate individuals working together to form effective movements for change. People who care about helping those in the world’s poorest places improve their lives. We call their efforts "steps", which contribute to mankind's greater goal for unity. And with this letter, we’re helping to kick-start an effort to take millions of STEPS. Putting one foot forward doesn’t mean you have to dedicate your life to helping the poor. It does mean you follow an issue of global importance—whether it’s one we wrote about in this letter, or another, like human rights or governance. You take a few minutes once in a while to learn about the lives of people who are worse off than you are. (In fact, if you’re still reading this far into our letter, you are probably a global citizen.) You’re willing to act on your compassion, whether it’s raising awareness, volunteering your time, or giving a little money.

Improving life for the poor will take contributions from everyone. There is overwhelming evidence that people care about others who are suffering—when they can see the suffering. Just think of the global outpouring of support whenever a devastating tsunami or earthquake makes the news. The problem is that ongoing tragedies like deadly diseases and poverty don’t make the news. They’re invisible to many of us. And so the caring of millions of people goes untapped.We hope to help change that. With the effort we’re helping launch, we want to raise the visibility of these problems. We want to give people a way to lend their voice, urging governments, companies, and non-profits to make these issues a priority.

It is called Steps for Mankind, and you can sign up at stepsformankind.com. You will be able to get updates on how you can help, share what you’re learning, and connect with other people and organizations who care about similar issues. But being a contributor is not just about being part of one organization; it’s about being part of a movement made up of many effective organizations including global groups like CIVICUS, Save the Children, the ONE Campaign, ActionAid, Oxfam, and Greenpeace, as well as smaller national organizations from all over the world. We hope this effort will help these groups grow, building the movement of global citizens. Their millions of members are also global citizens, working on different global problems.

Contributors have an especially important role to play this year. In September, the United Nations will agree on a set of goals about what should be done for the poor over the next 15 years. The UN did this once before, in 2000, and it was one of the best ideas for development either of us has ever seen. It focused the world on key measures of how many people get the basics of a productive life: good health and a chance to get an education and make the most of economic opportunities.

We hope the goals adopted this year continue that work. Nearly 1,000 organizations in 130 countries have come together to launch a campaign called action/2015 to make sure they do. But we need even more voices—and by joining Steps for Mankind, you can add yours. Along with other groups, Steps for Mankind will be asking their members to hold their leaders accountable for the goals they sign up for in February, particularly those relating to the renewable energy revolution. - Ryan Cant (Founder & President 14

Renewa ble Energy & Energy Efficiency Energy tha t Promotes a Susta ina ble Future

THE INDUSTRY Power generation is evolving throughout the world, driven by emission issues, policy and transforming markets. An increased interest in generation alternatives, including renewable energy has developed and this brings new challenges around issues of deployment, technology, risk, price and integration. These challenges apply to small businesses with considerable electricity cost exposure; utilities struggling with changing portfolios or looking to reduce carbon emissions; or a business simply looking to source cleaner energy. Steps for Mankind is comprised of assets critical to the supply and distribution of renewable energy in the Canada. Renewable energy covers a diverse range of technologies and deployment concepts. These are zero or low emission generation technologies whose “fuel” resource is virtually inexhaustible including solar, wind, water, geothermal and biomass resources. These “fuels” are also free of price and supply volatility, a key renewable energy advantage. The renewable energy industry is maturing fast with deployment at utility-scale becoming routine. While high generation cost has been a primary concern for renewables, the size of the industry is reaching more efficient economies and this has put downward pressure on prices; in some applications now, renewables are a purely commercial proposition. Renewable energy has been used for many years in commercial power generation, particularly hydroelectric, and only recently other forms have appeared for mainstream use. This diverse mix of technologies provides both opportunities and challenges to the power industry.

Lets Stop Clima te Cha nge Together

Ca rbon & GHG Ma na gement Advisory

INTRODUCTION Under the new cap and trade system most industries and businesses will have their carbon emissions capped, and those that want to burn more fossil fuels can buy carbon credits from those that find efficiencies and burn less. Government will skim off a piece of the action, which Premier Wynne said will "be reinvested in green technology and green infrastructure", such as public transit.

OUR SERVICES Whether you wind up being a buyer or seller of carbon credits, whether your industry gains an exemption, or whether your business is not even covered by the agreement, one simple law of nature still applies: Reducing your carbon footprint and your greenhouse gas emissions will save you money. Like all good laws of nature, the inverse is also true. Reducing your maintenance costs will reduce your carbon footprint. Efficiency is sustainability. Sustainability is efficiency. It is not rocket science that tells us that saving resources and energy with a Steps for Mankind will mitigate climate change, however; if Einstein had been a maintenance systems supervisor, his famous formula would have been.

Sustainability = Efficiency

Steps for Mankind is the driver that propels maintenance efficiency, which saves the money, which reduces the carbon footprint. 38

Real-time equipment monitoring of sensor data can be used to reduce catastrophic failures and environmental damage. Cloud-based work order software streamlines maintenance site trips and drives efficiency and productivity. Prolonging asset life postpones manufacturing new equipment. Preventative maintenance reduces equipment failure and out-of-spec production, in turn reducing scrap or re-works. Well maintained assets, improves their efficiency reducing their resource intensity.

And now that you’ve done a great job on maintenance, Steps for Mankind can generate the reports that document your carbon footprint reductions and cost savings. Not a bad return on your investment! Susta ina bility = Efficiency
