Abstract

Understanding the broader context in which energy–development ­linkages are addressed is an important first step towards in-depth discussions of energy demand, supply and technologies. Energy-related aspects of international sustainable development targets, programmes and declarations provide increasingly important platforms to address these issues. Statistical causality analyses of the energy–development relationship explore why energy is important for social and economic development (measured as GDP per capita and Human Development Indices, HDI) but the current estimation techniques lead to inconsistent conclusions. The chapter also provides an overview of institutional, supply, demand, ­technology and environmental topics addressed in this volume.
