Sažetak
Humanity has become aware of the threat of climate change, but still does not know how to stop it. The policy resulting from the Paris Agreement, even after five years does not give results as global temperatures increase rapidly. In 2020, according to WMO data, it was 1.2 (± 0.1)°C, while the same source, for 2024, predicts reaching as much as 1.5°C! This alarming situation requires an urgent change in existing policies ; which were predominantly set by economists (all with the intention of sustaining economic growth) ; into a completely new policy, based on technological solutions that will be able to realize the world's sustainable energy system and thus stop climate change because otherwise climate collapse is quite certain. The new climate agreement, which the authors called Climate New Deal, would be based on a top-down principle, and its application would be strictly binding for all countries. This new policy would be based on the criterion of fair distribution of the burden of climate care, both to developed and underdeveloped countries, with a deadline for its implementation by 2050. Special attention was paid to the radically new technology Seawater Steam Engine (SSE), as the most powerful "weapon" in the fight against climate change, which can simultaneously produce energy and drinking water. The problem of drinking water supply in the near future will be even greater than the problem of energy. SSE technology can also solve the problem of energy and drinking water storage, which enables the construction of sustainable cities/settlements. The authors of this paper will present the dynamic process of stopping climate change by 2050 (Figure 1) and analyse the management of possible risks. Saving the climate must become a priority for the survival of humanity.
