Posted under News by Webmaster at 10:03 on Jan 09 2010
Sustainable Energy Consumption: Does Anyone Care? Energy consumption has significantly increased over the past decades. This is having an impact not only on climate change but also on economic growth. It is clear that today’s society needs to learn to consume energy in a more sustainable fashion. 1) What are the consequences of increased energy consumption on the environment and climate change? What are the consequences to economic growth? 2) Is the concept of a “2000 watt society” a realistic approach to changing patterns of energy consumption? 3) What is the role of policy-makers, the energy sector and consumers in promoting sustainable energy consumption?
