It is noteworthy that in some areas, supply is being increased to meet energy demand. However, managing demand is more effective than this, which requires sustainable initiatives that include energy saving. The Earth is warming, and the need for sustainable technologies is increasing. The climate is changing and Mother Nature cannot resist this change. We are receiving news of natural disasters from all over the world. Losses due to human-induced climate change are increasing every day, and the world is discussing climate change and its effects more than ever before. Because the data shows that we are rapidly moving towards a point of no return for our planet.
NASA announced that the hottest year since instrumental temperature measurements began in 1880 was 2016. According to the statement made by NASA, 16 of the 17 hottest years experienced during this period were in the 21st century. In the absence of sustainable technologies, this shows us how human-induced effects, especially greenhouse gas emissions, trigger climate change. The expansion of industrial activities, especially in the 21st century, caused climate change to occur faster than expected. 30 years ago, global warming and climate change were listed among the “threats of the future,” but the predictions came true much sooner than expected. Undoubtedly, the rapidly increasing world population, which is expected to reach 9.8 billion by 2050, also has an impact on this. It is becoming increasingly difficult to meet the needs of such a large population with limited resources.
In addition, the fact that resources are not shared equally among the world's population poses another problem. While 815 million people in the world struggle with hunger due to malnutrition, 640 million people struggle with obesity due to unbalanced nutrition.
The resources provided by nature are rapidly depleting, access to clean water suitable for human use is not provided, and countries around the world are developing national policies with concerns about how food security will be provided in the future. Although we encounter a pessimistic picture when we look at the issues mentioned above, there are also promising developments. Especially in the last 10 years, countries around the world have come together on common ground based on the concept of "sustainable" technology. Decision makers have taken steps by seeing the fact that "the planet is not an inheritance left to us, but a trust from our children." On the other hand, the global business world has also acted with the same understanding and developed business models based on resource efficiency, sustainability with its economic and social outputs, especially environmental.
Almost all of these business models prioritize energy efficiency. Because our energy production and usage habits are listed among the causes of climate change. Of course, on the other hand, the energy sector is also affected by climate change in terms of both supply and demand. At this point, production and business models focusing on energy efficiency and sustainable technology and business models gain greater importance. It is noteworthy that in some areas, supply is being increased to meet energy demand. However, what is more effective than this is managing demand, which requires initiatives that also include energy saving.
Operating in a sector directly related to energy efficiency and efficient use of resources makes us responsible for all these issues. For this reason, we act with this responsibility in all our business processes. It makes us happy to know that our business partners also share this responsibility and that the projects we are involved in are human-focused and environmentally sensitive. We hope that our work, which we carry out with faith and hope, will create a more livable world.
