| Energy production and transformations significantly
influence poverty, prosperity, women's work and lifestyles, and are
affected by demand from urbanization and the population. Sustainable
energy development attempts to provide energy services to satisfy basic
human needs without compromising future generations or the environment.
In Africa, per capita energy use is one-tenth of North America's and
has not grown significantly in twenty-five years. Sustainable energy
development also overlaps with energy security-the need for a reliable
and adequate supply of energy. |
