World energy outlook 2006

The energy future which we are creating is unsustainable. If we continue as before, the energy supply to meet the needs of the world economy over the next twenty-five years is too vulnerable to failure arising from under-investment, environmental catastrophe or sudden supply interruption.rnrnThis has been the central message from the World Energy Outlook for the past several years, and in 2005 at Gleneagles and 2006 at St. Petersburg, G8 leaders endorsed that judgement, making a political commitment to change. They asked the IEA to map a new energy future.rnrnThis edition of the Outlook responds to that challenge. It starts, like previous editions, with a Reference Scenario projecting energy demand and supply if present policies were to continue. This is not to cast doubt on the will for change. Rather it serves as a point of departure for the analysis of how and how far that future can be altered and at what cost. It is a reminder of why that must happen: despite the shock of continuing high oil prices, the projected energyrnfuture has hardly changed.
