Goals and core indicators for sustainable development
Sustainable energy development requires the process of:
- Setting up goals for the energy sector as regards security of supply,
carrying capacity of the environment, resource management, economy and
safety.
- Ensuring that decision makers at all levels are inclined to pursue
these goals.
- Revise goals and incentives at need, according to increased knowledge
and proper monitoring of indicators
The following primary goals have been set up for 2030:
- Basic energy services must be affordable to the whole population
on the basis of modern technology.
Indicators:
- Energy supply must not give rise to pollution exceeding critical
loads or levels of acidification, eutrophication, troposheric ozone
and global climate change.
Indicators:
- Elimination of hazards related to nuclear waste and nuclear energy
production.
- Maintain long-term security of supply by resource management.
Indicators:
To fulfil the primary goals a number of secondary goals must be reached,
especially regarding:
- Energy savings
Indicators:
- Increased energy efficiency, including combined heat and power
production
Indicators:
- Increased use of renewable energy resources and substitution of
high-carbon fossil fuels by low-carbon fossil fuels
Indicators:
