Sustainable Energy Systems
The Role of Sustainable Energy Systems in Sustainable Development
Sustainable energy systems provide a means of sustaining resources while also providing the services that people require in their daily lives. Sustainable energy systems can be seen as an offshoot of environmental concerns, and the field of sustainable energy concerns is one that has given rise to much research on alternative fuel sources.
Sustainable energy systems are a concern for both developed and developing countries. Projects addressing this field might deal with issues of efficiency, improved standards as well as a more highly evolved knowledge of building technology. Along with environmental and water issues, sustainable energy projects could provide a forum for technical assistance and information sharing.
Specific issues members of the Sister Cities Network for Sustainable Development may focus on include:
Improved Energy StandardsClean and Renewable Energy
Energy Efficiency
Energy Efficient Consumer Products
