Christoph Frei, PhD, Secretary General of World Energy Council, discusses the critical uncertainties and need for action in the energy sector. By 2050, energy demand will double while emissions need to be halved. The pathway includes addressing weak signals and globally governed risks for sustainable development. The Global Transport Scenarios 2050 project highlights the increase in fuel demand and CO2 emissions, with a significant disparity between OECD and non-OECD countries. Overcoming the Energy Trilemma requires a balancing act between energy security, social equity, and environmental impact mitigation. Country-specific assessments, like the Energy Sustainability Index for Kazakhstan, provide insights for policy-making. The World Energy Council emphasizes the importance of seizing opportunities through collaboration and partnerships.
