|a There are few signs that the urgently needed change in direction in global energy trends is
underway. Although the recovery in the world economy since 2009 has been uneven, and
future economic prospects remain uncertain, global primary energy demand rebounded by
a remarkable 5% in 2010, pushing CO2 emissions to a new high. Subsidies that encourage
wasteful consumption of fossil fuels jumped to over $400 billion. The number of people
without access to electricity remained unacceptably high at 1.3 billion, around 20% of the
world’s population. Despite the priority in many countries to increase energy efficiency,
global energy intensity worsened for the second straight year. Against this unpromising
background, events such as those at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant and the
turmoil in parts of the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) have cast doubts on the
reliability of energy supply, while concerns about sovereign financial integrity have shifted
the focus of government attention away from energy policy and limited their means of
policy intervention, boding ill for agreed global climate change objectives. |
