World Energy Trilemma

The World Energy Council’s publication “World Energy Trilemma” is built around the complicated objectives governments face in securing competitive energy supplies, providing universal access to energy and promoting environmental protection. It therefore addresses three fundamental aspects of energy: security of supply, social equity and mitigation of environmental impact. Each year it aims to contribute to the development of a global framework for transforming towards more sustainable energy systems.

Along with the “World Energy Trilemma”, the “Energy Trilemma Index” is published every year, which ranks more than 130 countries based on their ability to balance the three blocks that make up the trilemma.
