There are some important stocks and flows in the city of Geneva. We can easily quote the stock and flow of people. For this one, people who live in the city are the stock, immigrants, tourists and people who leave the city are the flow. It’s the same with food where we have a little stock of local products and a big flow of products from the outside of the city or even the country. It’s the same with water. We have a big stock with Geneva lake or groundwater stocks. Water from Arve or Rhône and from other rivers are the flows. The energy stocks and flows are a good example. We have a big flow of fuel and gas which come in stocks like tanks. When used, those flows and stock become other flows and stocks with heat for example. Energy stocks and flows could change in the futures for the benefit of our area if we begin to use more local energy. We can for example use solar panel to product heat with heat pomp instead of fuel boiler. We will always have flows but it would be local flows instead of globalized flows. Those change could increase our energy independence, and decrease flows like pollution (no transportation and renewable energy). Furthermore, some stocks of oil or gas would disappear.
