The relationship between energy and the environment has been the
basis of many studies over the years, as has the relationship
between energy and development, yet both of these approaches may
produce distortions. In the first edition of this book, Professor
Goldemberg pioneered the study of all three elements in relation to
one another. With contributions from Oswaldo Lucon, this second
edition has been expanded and updated to cover how energy is
related to the major challenges of sustainability faced by the
world today.The book starts by conceptualizing energy, and then
relates it to human activities, to existing natural resources and
to development indicators. It then covers the main environmental
problems, their causes and possible solutions. Disaggregating
national populations by income and by how different income groups
consume energy, the authors identify the differences between local,
regional and global environmental impacts, and can thus ascertain
who is responsible for them. Finally, they discuss general and
specific policies to promote sustainable development in energy. New
coverage is included of today's pressing issues, including
security, environmental impact assessment and future climate
change/renewable energy regimes. The authors also cover all major
new international agreements and technological developments.
Energy, Environment and Development is the result of many years of
study and practical experience in policy formulation, discussion
and implementation in these fields by the authors. Written in a
technical yet accessible style, the book is aimed at students on a
range of courses, as well as non-energy specialists who desire an
overview of recent thought in the area.
