An Energy Vision: The Transformation towards Sustainability – Interconnected Challenges and Solutions

The document argues that while a sustainable global energy transformation is technologically and economically achievable, it faces significant governance challenges. It proposes a transition based on an integrated approach, high energy efficiency, and increased investment in research, development, and demonstration (RD&D).

• The global energy system requires a fundamental transformation to simultaneously address high consumption, lack of energy access, climate change, air pollution, and energy security.
• Transformational pathways for the energy system are feasible from a technological and economic perspective, but they present significant governance difficulties across various scales.
• A successful energy transition must rely on an integrated approach, a strong emphasis on energy efficiency, and the expansion of investments, specifically including RD&D.
