Channel: ICTSD
Date: 17/04/2015

With a continuously growing world population and economic progress, global energy demand is projected to increase by up to 37 percent by 2040. Meeting this demand in a sustainable manner will require a scale-up of the supply and use of clean energy and energy efficiency technologies. Trade, if supported by an enabling governance framework, can play an important role in fostering a shift to a cleaner energy mix.
