Abstract

The manner in which we produce and consume energy is of crucial importance to sustainable development, as energy has deep relationships with each of its three dimensions -- the economy, the environment and social welfare. These relationships develop in a fast-moving and complex situation characterised by increasing globalisation, growing market liberalisation and new technologies, as well as by growing concerns about climate change and energy-supply security. In order to make energy an integral part of sustainable development, new policies need to be developed. Such policies must strike a balance among the three dimensions of sustainable development. They must reduce our exposure to large-scale risk. The IEA has synthesised a number of experiences with policies aimed to promote sustainable development. These experiences are reported in seven subject chapters on energy supply security, market reform, improving energy efficiency, renewable energies, sustainable transport, flexibility mechanisms for greenhouse gas reductions and on non-Member countries.

Abstract

Climate change and its implications for consumers and policymakers, have been discussed extensively. Adrian Renner provides a unique perspective on how stockholders react if companies move towards a carbon-conscious future. A multi-country event study approach was used to analyze stock market reactions of the largest 500 companies globally. The analysis shows that depending on the situation of the company outcomes vary substantially. For example, Asian companies were gratified by investors for their carbon-conscious behavior while European and North American companies got punished for this.

Abstract

Si vous vous êtes déjà demandé combien d'énergie nous utilisons et d'où elle vient - ou d'où elle pourrait venir - et en avez assez de tout ce "vent" autour de l'énergie et de "l'écoblanchiment"... alors ce livre est fait pour vous ! Les ressources renouvelables sont immenses, mais notre consommation d'énergie est également énorme. Pour comparer des choses énormes les unes par rapport aux autres, nous avons besoin de chiffres, pas d'adjectifs. Ce livre outrepasse toutes les déclarations contradictoires émanant des médias, du gouvernement et des lobbies. Il vous donne les chiffres et les faits dont vous avez besoin pour comprendre réellement tous les enjeux. Si vous êtes sur le point de sombrer dans le désespoir et pensez qu'aucune solution n'est possible, alors lisez ce livre: vous y trouverez un discours honnête, à la fois réaliste et humoristique, présentant toutes les options énergétiques.

Abstract

This book discusses how energy efficiency benefits the global environment, national energy security, local pollution mitigation, natural resource conservation, and utility bill reduction. In addition, this book provides many hands-on skills and knowledge to identify and develop energy efficiency projects. The literature review shows that energy efficiency has become the first fuel in the world energy supply. With empirical analyses, this book indicates that without continued investment in energy efficiency, neither China nor the U.S. could achieve their carbon emission reduction targets that were announced on November 13, 2014 during the Beijing 2014 APEC meeting. The authors argue that energy efficiency will become the first tool to mitigate climate change. These include (1) identifying energy efficiency barriers, (2) developing energy policies, (3) investing in energy efficient technologies, (4) undertaking project cost-effectiveness analysis, (5) de-risking and financing energy efficiency projects; (6) developing and managing energy service companies, and (7) promoting urban transport efficiency. Two case studies in energy efficiency improvement in electrical motors and industrial boilers are also presented. This book is written for college and university students, practitioners, researchers, consultants, project developers, and policy makers who want to dedicate their professional careers in global energy efficiency improvement, climate change mitigation, local clean air initiatives, and energy bill reduction.
