a Decent Living Energy (DLE) for the three geographies considered (inter’ = intermediate), shown for 2020 and 2050 and broken down by the Decent Living Standards dimensions of Table 1. Shown for comparison is the DLE estimate for Switzerland in 2050 from Millward-Hopkins et al.5, assuming advanced technologies (MH20). b The average annual energy use reduction for each consumption-sector over the 2020–2050 period, specifically the Compound Annual Growth Rate, with the dotted line indicating the average for the total footprint.
