This report draws upon various World Energy Council (WEC) publications
, including in particular the joint WEC/IIASA (International Institute
for Applied Systems Analysis) study Global energy perspectives to 205
0 and beyond (1995). In keeping with the earlier WEC Commission Report
Energy for tomorrow's world (1993) the WEC is in the process of botto
m-up evaluation of the Global energy perspectives study. This is being
conducted through Regional Groups covering the eleven regions into wh
ich we divide the world. However we do nor anticipate changing some pr
eliminary assumptions.
