2050: Redesigning Our Energy Future is an hour-long television special that takes a look at the looming challenges the world faces over the next 40 years, as energy demands intensify while non-renewable energy resources continue to diminish. With an expected 2050 global population of nine billion people, most of whom will be living in vast megacities, it's clear that pressure on the world's resources creates daunting challenges for humanity. But these difficult prospects also come with amazing opportunities, as individuals and communities explore what it will take to build a better future. 2050 will take a look at both the real challenges, as well as the people of today who are working to come up with innovative, viable solutions to create a more sustainable energy future for the world.
