Integrating Environmental Protection and Social Inclusion when Designing and Implementing Energy Infrastructure Projects
This synthesis report highlights the state of knowledge on interactions between energy infrastructure and the environment. Recent projections show that demand for energy will continue to increase worldwide. Governments, regulators, and utilities are working to meet this demand by increasing energy supply, often by improving efficiency and investing in new infrastructure, such as generation, transmission and distribution networks, and mini-grids. However, many projects still fail to adequately address tradeoffs between meeting energy needs and achieving broader environmental and social sustainability goals.
