8. Energy vision
A fundamental transformation of the energy system is needed as global energy systems face an array of challenges, from access for the poor to reliability and security, and the provision of energy creates local human and ecological health impacts as well as dangerous global climate change.


Recent assessments show that such a transformation is achievable in technological and  economic terms, but it will present formidable supply- and demand-side challenges as well as problems of  governance, transparency and reliability across scales.

This policy brief presents a long-term vision for the energy system and describes the elements required for the  transition towards this vision.

To succeed, this transformation must integrate several key components, including  a focus on high levels of energy efficiency and the scale up of investments in technology deployment as well as  research, development and demonstration (RD&D).
