Die menschliche Entwicklung ist seit jeher von einer gesicherten Energieversorgung abhangig, die heute aus Grunden der Machbarkeit und der Umweltbelastungen global betrachtet werden muss. Angesichts eines weltweit steigenden Energiebedarfs kommt der sicheren und preiswerten Bereitstellung von Energie daher eine Schlusselrolle in der menschlichen Entwicklung zu. Auf der Basis der heutigen und zukunftig moglichen Energietechnologien sowie der Kenntnisse der zur Verfugung stehenden Ressourcen erarbeitet die Studie Beurteilungen der weltweiten Energieversorgung unter Einbeziehung wirtschaftlicher und umweltvertraglicher Kriterien. Es werden ferner Aspekte der Langfristigkeit, der Sozialvertraglichkeit und der Verteilungsgerechtigkeit in den Diskurs einbezogen.
