To provide policy-relevant analysis and guidance to governments and intergovernmental organizations, decision-support material to the commercial sector (energy service companies, investors and others), and analysis relevant to academic institutions.
Reducing the adverse and ancillary risks associated with energy systems.
Global concerns have steadily increased about climate change, energy security and energy poverty. Decision makers do not have access to reliable, comprehensive and integrated information on these major energy issues. While other authoritative publications on different aspects of energy are available, they have not adequately addressed energy challenges in an integrated manner. Given the inter-linkages between energy and many major economic, commercial and social activities, a lack of integrated and comprehensive decision-support material on energy increases the likelihood of sub-optimal policy and investment choices that will increase the exposure of critical social and economic development activities to the impacts of among others: energy supply disruptions; continuing energy disparities and poverty; worsening of environmental and human health; and insufficient technological development.
Given this need, the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA), in cooperation with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), the United Nationsl Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UNDESA) and the World Energy Council (WEC), identified the need for more integrated analysis that could account for the full range of activities, opportunities and threats linked with energy systems, including region-specific challenges. Thus, this integrative approach represents a critical and unique element of the Global Energy Assessment, that provides the stronger interdisciplinary policy orientation required for better decision making and capacity-building.
This approach allows the GEA to provide a basis for policy formulation that recognizes the main issues and competing requirements across all areas of economic and social development, environmental protection an security; with a sufficient level of regional focus and detail to provide relevant support for a wide range of decision-makers.
