It has been peer-reviewed anonymously by an additional 200 international experts. The GEA assesses the major global challenges for sustainable development and their linkages to energy; the technologies and resources available for providing energy services; future energy systems that address the major challenges; and the policies and other measures that are needed to realize transformational change toward sustainable energy futures. The GEA goes beyond existing studies on energy issues by presenting a comprehensive and integrated analysis of energy challenges, opportunities and strategies, for developing, industrialized and emerging economies. This volume is an invaluable resource for energy specialists and technologists in all sectors (academia, industry and government) as well as policymakers, development economists and practitioners in international organizations and national governments""--cProvided by publisher. 0aEnergy development. 0aEnergy policy. 0aEnergy security. 0aPower resources. 7aPOLITICAL SCIENCE / Public Policy / Environmental Policy.21 aGomez-Echeverri, Luis.1 aJohansson, Thomas B.,d1943-1 aNakicenovic, Nebojsa.1 aPatwardhan, Anandq(Anand Prabhakar)2 aInternational Institute for Applied Systems Analysis.423Cover imageuhttp://assets.cambridge.org/97811070/05198/cover/9781107005198.jpg
