Perspectives on Energy Futures, Environment and Wellbeing Edited by Sergio Ulgiati , Agostinho Feni , Gengyuan Liu , Maddalena Ripa , Jesus Ramos Martin , Sudhakara Reddy Last update 9 August 2019 perspectives of energy futures, environment, and well-being. Scientists presented and discussed their findings on the main following themes: • mobility of passengers and freight; • energy and urban systems; • food, energy, water and commodity nexus; • changing the energy basis of

From this perspective, the collected information integrated the economic and environmental dimensions that affect human well-being and health, incorporating aspects like employment and income distribution, living conditions, the state and sustainability of the environment, socio-environmental conflicts, and institutional conflict-resolution structures with social participation, as well as others that affect collective and individual well-being 8,9. Environment, health and wellbeing: a systemic approach. The natural environment can benefit our health and quality of life, while environmental pollution has significant costs. Unfortunately, such links between environment, health and wellbeing are often ignored within science and policy. A contrasting perspective on the challenge of reconciling economic activity, social welfare, and the needs of future generations was put forward by Donella H. Meadows, Dennis L. Meadows, Jørgen Randers, and William W. Behrens, III, in their 1972 book, The Limits to Growth. Energy Policy is an international peer-reviewed journal addressing the policy implications of energy supply and use from their economic, social, planning and environmental aspects. Papers may cover global, regional, national, or even local topics that are of wider policy significance, and of interest to international agencies, governments, public and private sector entities, local communities and non-governmental organisations.
New Energy Futures is designed as a foundation document to help frame questions, rather than directly provide answers. We will consider further commentaries and insights which pick up on these themes in a more specific context (e.g. the future for NOCs, gas as a transition fuel, and territory perspectives). Global Energy Perspectives presents six long-term energy futures that lay out the alternatives among future fuels, technologies, efficiency gains, conservation patterns, and pollution levels, and From this perspective, the collected information integrated the economic and environmental dimensions that affect human well-being and health, incorporating aspects like employment and income distribution, living conditions, the state and sustainability of the environment, socio-environmental conflicts, and institutional conflict-resolution structures with social participation, as well as others that affect collective and individual well-being 8,9.
