The World Energy Assessment: Overview - 2004 Update is a collaborative effort between UNDP, UNDESA and the World Energy Council. It provides an update to the original World Energy Assessment, published in 2000. The enclosed document presents the linkages between energy and the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), describes the discussions and outcomes that emerged from CSD-9 and WSSD, and outlines the latest energy trends and information, new energy related technologies, and energy policy options for a sustainable future. This book also examines distinct regional challenges linked to energy and describes how key energy issues directly impact the achievement of development objectives outside the energy sector including, for example food security, the advancement of women, environmental well being and poverty reduction.
The overview included within the orginal World Energy Assessment publication was available in Arabic, Chinese, French, Russian and Spanish, all accessible above, except the Arabic version, accessible here - http://www.undp.org/energy/activities/wea/pdfs/WEAARABI.PDF.
