Bridging the gap between energy and the environment.

摘要: Meeting the world’s energy demand is a major challenge for society over coming century. To identify most sustainable pathways to meet this demand, analysis of systems on which policy based must move beyond current primary focus carbon include broad range ecosystem services human well-being depends. Incorporation set into design will differentiates between technology options that reconcile national and international obligations address climate change loss biodiversity services. In paper we consider our understanding implications key elements an assessment. Analysis full life cycle systems, territorial footprint, use consistent service framework incorporates value both market non-market goods, spatial temporal dynamics environmental system. While significant methodological challenges exist, approach detail can provide holistic view interactions required inform future global policy.
