Wiley Interdisciplinary Reviews: Energy and Environment, 2012, vol. 1, issue 1, 51-59

Abstract: This review article describes four broad categories of emerging global energy security threats. After defining energy security, it discusses threats related to the availability of energy resources and fuels, the affordability of the services they provide, the efficiency of their use, and the effective management of their negative environmental and social impacts, notably climate change. It concludes by noting how the energy security of many industrialized and developing countries has eroded over the past few decades and proposes potential areas of future research. This article is categorized under: Energy Infrastructure > Economics and Policy Energy Policy and Planning > Economics and Policy
