Description
Energy, Environment and Development explores the complex relationships between energy, human activities, natural resources, and development. This updated edition delves into the major challenges of sustainability faced by the world today, covering pressing issues such as security, environmental impact assessment, and future climate change/renewable energy regimes. The book examines how different income groups consume energy, identifying local, regional, and global environmental impacts, and determining who is responsible for them. It also discusses general and specific policies to promote sustainable development in the energy sector. Written in a technical yet accessible style, this comprehensive guide is aimed at students on various courses as well as non-energy specialists seeking an overview of recent thought in the field. New coverage includes major international agreements and technological developments, making this book a valuable resource for those looking to understand the latest developments in energy policy and sustainability.
