As a follow-up to the World Energy Assessment, this publication focuses on policy options and effective implementation. It offers informed guidance on the next steps, on how to shape public policy so that it accelerates the growth of energy systems that support sustainable development. As the publication describes, policy makers are struggling to understand how to intervene most effectively to stimulate technological innovation, attract private investment, and refocus regulation and reform to advance the economic, social, and environmental objectives of sustainability. Regrettably, there are no simple blueprints that will work in all situations, but it is possible as long as an enabling policy environment exists.
