EFOW Program 2025: Focus on the Essentials
For year 2025- we will make special time and attention to “Focus on the Essentials” given the ” New Energy Realities” and “the Situation We Are In”.
With that, we mean:
Our focus in year 2025 will be on stimulating “the more good and constructive behaviours” in our Governments and Corporations, whilst understanding some of the more sobering realities we are in- and the great opportunities we have- in mending these curves:
In Our Geo-Politics, in our Energy and Economy Plays, and in the Relationships we have with Nature and between Ourselves.
An overview of our appraisal of the State of Our World, relevant for Energy and Energy Transition- and the present behaviours of our Governments and Corporations- can be found in our Year-End Overview: EFOW Year 2024 in Review- The State of Our World- for Energy, Energy Transitions- Full Paper
Our Essentials:-
Peace, Dialogue and Diplomacy (Re-building of Trust)
Over Wars, New Militarisation, Warfares- and Weaponization (e.g. “RoboWars”, Hypersonic Missiles) or Weaponization of Economies. Only with Peace, Good Futures can be Made.
Making Room for the New
“The Great Electrification” and the Better Roles and Responsibilities of BigOil and OilProducts, Moving Away from Fossil Fuels (See e.g. Appendix) in the Transition. See also : our Agenda 2024: Good Future Making.: Building Energy-Economies Free of Concerns.
East-West, North-South (Trade-) Relationships
The ways we organize and integrate the UN Pact for the Future, UNSDGs goals into our trade and trade relations. Working with the Needs of the Global South, the Rise and New Growths of the East and the Transformative Powers and Potentials- of the Developed West and Rest. A Global Fund for Development. “Rich-Poor” gap closures- nationally, internationally.
Climate and Our Planetary Boundaries ( Natural Environment)
Understanding and working with present (red-lines) , scales, gaps, risks & realities and the opportunities to see and restore better balance, resilience and care, including the needs of Nature and our future natural resource and reserve needs. Taking the Planetary Boundaries and Observed (Developing) Crisis in Our Nature- a little more serious.
(Technology, Economy &) Direction of our Human Development
The ways we grow, distribute, modernize or reform our Economies ( in relation to Ecology, Sociology, Future), including the potentials and influences of new technologies (AI, Robotics: “Age of Abundance”).
The Direction of our Economies: More Intense, Global, More vs. Slow, Local, Less.
Care for “inclusive economies”: the social equity, cohesion and impact on humanity and communities (cultures, traditions, moral values)
Making benefit of the new (AI) technology revolution, and the opportunities that create to see well.
Our Leadership, Organisation and Moral Values
Our World View, Our Tone of Voice and Our Words Used.
Care and Respect for our Planet Earth, The Other and Our Future.
(Steward) Leadership with Decency and Universal Shared Moral Values.
Leadership (and Leadership Training) that can proactively envision and (re-)organize the (present, unzippered) international institutes, governance & organisations, sector, markets, and corporations that can bring about “Energy For One World”.
This is very much true, urgent and needed in today’s Energy Sector, as it appears we are here yet “missing the point” of this form of “integration for realization”.
