Capstone Project: Roadmap to Sustainable, Prosperous Future

Capstone Project 
Roadmap to a Sustainable, Prosperous Future
This is where you are given the freedom to put it all together and craft a roadmap for a sustainable, prosperous future. We’ll pretend you have been granted the authority to completely control global carbon emissions and your job is to put together an emissions scenario for the next 200 years that accomplishes 4 things:
1. Keeps the global temperature change below 3.0°C (relative to pre-industrial, so about 2°C above the present temperature)
2. Meets the energy demands of the world’s population
3. Leaves us in the year 2200 with at least another 100 years worth of fossil fuel carbon
4. Minimizes the per capita costs (combination of climate damages and costs related to shifting to other forms of energy). We’ll assume that the plan that costs the least will leave more money for economic growth and prosperity.
Follow the directions in Steps 1-6 and then cycle through these steps until you find your ideal scenario, then proceed to Step 7 and complete the project by making a poster. The poster will illustrate and explain your plan using a combination of graphs and text — it is the kind of thing that you’d expect a classmate to be able to understand in 10 minutes of study. There is an example of what this might look like in Step 7. Submitting your Assessment
Submit your assignment as a PDF in the Capstone Dropbox in ANGEL. You can save as a PDF from Powerpoint, or from many other programs.
