As disseminated in the International Energy Agency's World Energy Outlook 2014, the global energy system increasingly looks to be in danger of falling short of the high hopes placed upon it. Energy security concerns are on the rise in oil and gas markets as turmoil in the Middle East may jeopardise upstream oil investment needed today and the conflict between Russia and Ukraine has reignited concern about gas supply in Europe. Energy efficiency remains an indispensible tool to bring about a more sustainable energy mix, but energy prices and government policies must provide the right signals to continue to encourage its uptake. Meanwhile, global greenhouse-gas emissions keep rising, setting up a critical round of international climate negotiations in Paris in 2015. Ultimately, it will take deliberate and sustained policy action by governments to overcome the inertia of current trends and to spur the development of a more secure, more affordable and cleaner energy system.
