 Energy Vision Update 2010: Towards a More Energy Efficient World
Energy efficiency has moved to the top of the global political and business agenda. Both government and industry are turning to energy efficiency as a critically important way to save energy in the quest to meet the world’s growing energy demands, while also addressing climate change and energy security concerns and supporting economic growth. The World Economic Forum in partnership with IHS Cambridge Energy Research Associates, together with policy-makers, chief executives and industry experts, has developed a new report Energy Vision Update 2010: Towards a More Energy Efficient World. Energy efficiency savings occur in every energy consuming sector – industrial, building, household and transportation – and this report addresses the opportunities and challenges specific for each of those sectors.

"Balancing supply and demand and offsetting impacts and benefits of different energy |
|
sources will be a huge challenge in the near future. Despite the economic downturn exacerbated in the past few months, demand for energy will surely increase in the medium and long term. This fact is going to cause production of traditional sources such as oil, natural gas and coal to intensify. At the same time, climate change will dramatically increase the importance of cleaner sources in the world energy scene. That is the complex equation we have to work out, no failure allowed here."
