Energy Sustainability

“We must accept that we have to make hard choices in this generation to bring about real changes for future generations and the planet. Politicians and the industry must get real.”

This is quoted from the report released by the World Energy Council (WEC) in partnership with the global consulting firm Oliver Wyman.  The report titled, World Energy Trilemma: Time to get real – the case for sustainable energy policy gives a overview of energy sustainability and methodology to achieve this.  


The three noted dimensions of energy sustainability
The World Energy Council’s definition of energy sustainability is based on three core dimensions - energy security, social equity, and environmental impact mitigation

The development of stable, affordable, and environmentally-sensitive energy systems defies simple solutions. These three goals constitute a ‘trilemma’, entailing complex interwoven links between public and private actors, governments and regulators, economic and social factors, national resources, environmental concerns, and individual behaviors.
