Roles of Energy in Sustainable Development Goals Introduction History of sustainable development Sustainable development is the ‘development that meets the needs of the present generation without compromising the ability of the future generation from meeting their own needs ‘(Brundtland, 1987). This concept has developed more from the intergenerational framework as indicated in the brundtland report to incorporate the three pillars (social, environment and economic) as a whole through series of

Renewable Energy: A Pillar of Kenyan Growth and Development MCR 601: Intelligence and the Global Strategic Environment LCDR Savery Introduction Although sluggish global growth will moderate growth forecasts, Sub-Sahara Africa (SSA) stands out with year over year increases in GDP growth reaching 4.7% in 2013. One country that is leading the way as East-Africa 's largest economy and SSA 's ninth largest economy is Kenya, which has seen economic growth at 5.7% in 2013 a full percentage

Human Development and the Importance of Wind Energy Conversion For human development to continue, we will ultimately need to find sources of renewable or virtually inexhaustible energy. It's difficult to imagine this, but even if we find several hundred or even thousand years of coal and natural gas supplies, what will humans do for the next 250,000 years or so after they are depleted? Even the most apparently "inexhaustible" sources like fusion involve the generation of large amounts of waste

After reviewing the UN’s Sustainable Development Goal on “Affordable and Clean Energy” (United Nations), I have observed that the majority of the targets listed are truly not measurable. By incorporating the words “increase” and “double”, the targets 7.2 and 7.3 appear to be the only two targets which one can use a clear standard unit of comparison. The target 7.1 uses the concept “universal access” as its amount to achieve by 2030. Although, an amount can be given of the number of people who do

Brazil is Latin America’s largest renewable energy market notwithstanding flat economic growth as its commitment to renewable energy is strong and has facilitated continuous investment in this segment sighting that nearly 76 percent comes from renewable resources. (International Trade Administration Sector Snapshot) To date, wind and hydropower have been the source of Brazil’s renewable energy expansion. As it is projected that new solar energy development over the long term will provide an encouraging

The American government supports the energy industry through large investments for research and development. The stability and corruption of the American government is a debate continuing today. America is viewed as one of the most powerful countries, although it has been weakened in the past. The public view of safety in America varies, as there are thoughts as to whether the American government is a main target of terrorism. America is one of the most competitive countries worldwide, thus making

Unquestionably, the energy security is of great importance in order to maintain and sustain the development of any growing economy. Therefore, this work will overview the new developments in nuclear reactor technology and their importance as a safe and base load energy alternative. Mainly, the focus will be on the Generation III (GIII), Generation IV (GIV) reactors and Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) and their safety and efficiency capabilities. A comparison will be held between the nuclear, solar

EU-ASEAN Dialogue relations Executive Summary The European Union (EU) and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), as two of the most important regional organizations, have been interacting with each other on the economic, political and cultural levels for more than four decades. In the 21st century, Asia has become the most dynamic region in the global economy today. What is more, its regional security and stability has grabbed increasing global attention as well. From the EU perspective

Policy The Policies governing Renewable Energy technology projects are governed by a number of acts: BC Provincial Permitting The Geothermal act and it's three sections: Regulations, tenures and General Regulations, Govern the various aspects of this projects operations such as: Land Tenures, permits, Leases, Licensing, exploration and environmental impact.
