Analysing Our Energy Future: some pointers for policy-makers
 This
report is a non-technical summary of the International Energy Agency’s
latest World Energy Outlook. It focuses on its Alternative Policy
and Beyond the Alternative Policy Scenarios – a deliberate
choice aimed to spur action by underscoring the impacts on the future
of the policy decisions made today. It is written in non-technical
language to make it accessible to as wide an audience as possible.
The report highlights that early moves to shift towards a more
sustainable energy system are more effective and cheaper compared
to delayed action. It outlines some policy approaches that can bring
about this shift and the time scales involved in it, noting that
a delay of 10 years in implementing the Alternative Policy Scenario,
for example, would push back the date of being on a sustainable
path by several decades. It concludes that there is no sensible
reason – economic or otherwise – to delay implementation.
