            ANU Energy Update presents the World Energy Outlook 2013

            The ANU Energy Change Institute (ECI) is pleased to host Mr Ian Cronshaw from the International Energy Agency (IEA) to present the latest insights from the 2013 World Energy Outlook. This year the IEA published the WEO on 12 November, providing a snapshot of international energy trends.

            The Energy Update will provide Australian researchers, policymakers, industry and members of the public with the latest state of play in the world's energy markets.

            The inaugural Energy Update has a particular focus on Asia, where energy demand is growing faster than anywhere in the world. In addition to the rapid growth in China and India, Southeast Asia as a region is rising fast as a global energy player. The region's booming economy is expected to drive this trend in years to come. Efforts to close the development gaps and sustain economic growth using fossil fuels could result in a significant rise in greenhouse gas emissions, while efforts to secure energy supplies could potentially redraw the global map of energy security and geopolitics.

            The full day event features national and international presenters from government, universities and the private sector to discuss a range of issues such as global and regional energy outlook, sustainable energy technologies, energy security and energy poverty. The speakers participating are at the cutting edge of politics, economics and trade, and each session will focus on opportunities and challenges in these fields. The programme will be made available from the ANU Energy Change Institute.

            ANU Energy Update is organised by the ANU Energy Change Institute in conjunction with the ANU College of Asia and the Pacific.
