Energy to 2050: Scenarios for a Sustainable Future

About this report

Analysing the interaction between energy and climate change mitigation issues requires the adoption of a long-term perspective – looking up to fifty years ahead.

This volume examines ‘exploratory scenarios’ and ‘normative scenarios’. These long-term scenarios complement the IEA’s World Energy Outlook, which presents a mid-term business-as-usual scenario with some variants.

The analysis in this volume seeks to stimulate new thinking in this critical domain.
