What is Energy or Resources

Energy is a fundamental component to our daily lives, and everyday we use energy or power in some form or another.

Ability of a system to perform work.

Types of Energy

There are many different energy resources on our planet, but they are all classified into two primary groups renewable energy resources, and non renewable energy resources.

Renewable energy Non-renewable energy Green energy

World Resources at a Glance

Renewable energy resources are energy resources that are directly available, immediately accessed, and can be consistently replaced.

Renewable Energy

Non renewable energy resources on the other hand are just the opposite.

Our Earth is fixed with a finite amount of energy resources, and once we run out, we will not be able to use those energy resources ever again.

Non-Renewable Energy

Green energy is energy that is produced in such a way as to minimize its negative impact on the environment.

Green Energy

Energy and Development: Historical Overview

Energy and human development right back to the domestication of fire some 500,000 years ago.o Discover Fire

o Combustions Engine

Considered the roots of energy and development.

“Economic History of World Population” or of Development. Cipolla, 1962

Present Energy Consumption in the World

Energy Consumption Per Capita in the World

Current Political Conflicts on Energy

The majority of remaining oil reserves are situated in the locations of Iran , Iraq ,Saudi Arabia , Russia and Central Asia. This is causing a change in the political /power landscape of the world.

When a country nationalizes oil , it typically leads to:

Control over the price Oil companies lose their control over

supplies Dwindling oil-related investment opportunities etc.

Energy Always Represents A Source Of Conflict: A Historical Overview

• The Japanese attacked on Pearl Harbor in 1941 • Kuwaiti wells on fire in 1991 after the Iraqi invasion• "Great Game" Russia and Great Britain in Asia in the

19th Century• Iraq war • Libya war • Afghanistan • U.S. forces mobilize for war with Iran

Water and world conflicts (Bangladesh and India)Sustainable water and energy use is essential to our survival and development and to achieve this we need to act now and act smart, because saving energy equals saving water.

Energy and Poverty What we are doing for them !

Nothing !

Challenges of Energy, Food and Water Security are Interrelated

Energy and water needs for agriculture Energy use for water purification , distribution,

recycle Conflicts between use of water for hydroelectricity

and by people Energy and water requirements for food processing

and distribution

Water needs for energy production

We are Connected to Electricity !

Note :1.3 billion people are without connected to electricity !

Opportunities of world Energy

Energy is the power to run anything . 1.3 billion people are in the world having without energy. Instead of scarcity we have great opportunities to do good in this field.

Energy Opportunities and Development Relation

Energy Threats for the World

Energy can play the vital role of development and production , but sometimes it appears threats for all.

• Nuclear blast e.g.- Hiroshima , Nagsikha (1941)

• War of the world ,e.g.- Iraq , Afghanistan , Sireya

• Fukushima, Japan 2011 • Chernobyl, Ukraine 1986

Energy Threats for Environment

Energy

Energy and Climate Change

The crisis is alarming because development does not compromise ecological value that’s why climate change is occurring at an alarming rate. Clash of politics regarding environmental values and interests

the world climate changes rapidly.

Way to Share the World Energy Without ConflictsEnergy is considered the natural resource but due to the human’s law or power of the world the energy ruled by different country.

Rethink the use of technology Develop international cooperationEnergy for production

To ensure Sustainable energy for all with a good cooperation

Sustainable Energy for all

Sustainable energy, specifically renewable energy or green energy which can be replenished.

Accessibility AvailabilityAffordabilityAccountability

Sustainable Energy for all is a

shared Responsibility

Objectives Of Sustainable Energy

Sources of Sustainable Energy

Conclusion

Basic Elements of Environment

Air + Water + Land + Natural Resources = EnergyIt is very vital to take extra care to all of the above components.Various legal framework , policies , mechanism should introduce and implement by the government as to protect & preserve our natural resources and blanching with follow to sustainable way.
