The Environmental Context of Energy Decision-Making in Asian-Pacific Developing Countries

Energy & Environment, 1991, vol. 2, issue 4, 306-315

Abstract: This paper focuses on the changing environmental context for energy decision-making in the region since the first oil price shock of the early 1970s. It summarizes the evolution of energy planning and policy-making systems in Asian developing countries over this period, considering the basic elements and objectives of energy policy. The discussion then deals with the ways in which environmental policy frameworks have developed and some of the difficulties that have arisen in interfacing energy-environment concerns. The latter part of the paper focuses on the increasing interdependence between energy and environmental decision-making in the light of concerns associated with both the local and regional impacts of energy sector projects and the global environmental implications of emerging energy supply strategies for the 1990s and beyond.
