|Description=Global final energy use has increased rapidly since the industrial revolution. Although, for a historical perspective, most increases have occurred in currently high-income regions, more recently the largest increase occurred in emerging economies. Given the aspirations for income growth in medium- and low-income countries, a continued high rate of growth in energy demand is to be expected in the coming decades, with important implications for sustainability. | |Description=Global final energy use has increased rapidly since the industrial revolution.

In the energy demand model, final energy demand is simulated as a function of changes in population, economic activity and energy intensity (see the flowchart on the left). The model considers five basic sectors: | In the energy demand model, final energy demand is simulated as a function of changes in population, economic activity and energy intensity (see the flowchart on the left).

Key policy issues
- How will energy demand evolve particularly in emerging and medium- and low-income economies?
- What is the mix of end-use energy carriers to meet future energy demand?
- How can energy efficiency contribute to reducing the growth rate of energy demand and mitigate pressures on the global environment?
Introduction
"model component" is not in the list (driver component, pressure component, interaction component, state component, impact component, response component) of allowed values for the "FrameworkElementType" property.
