This year marks the 20th anniversary of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change.

The last 20 years have also seen massive changes in the world’s energy system and markets, with large impacts on energy security. Yet, in reality, the policies needed to boost energy security are fragmented and often missing. Moreover, the supply of primary fuels and technologies has struggled to keep up with a tectonic shift in the global economy and energy demand from highly industrialized “West” to booming emerging economies, especially in Asia.
