Energy Consumption: Impacts of Human Activity, Current and Future Challenges, Environmental and Socio-Economic Effects examines the central role of energy in sustainable development and highlights how human activities drive patterns of energy production and consumption. The book emphasizes that energy use has far-reaching environmental, social, and economic consequences, including its strong links to climate change, public health, poverty reduction, and industrial and agricultural productivity. The work explores the complex relationships between human behavior, energy systems, and resource use across key sectors such as transportation, buildings, agriculture, and domestic activities. It identifies major current and future challenges, particularly the need to transition from fossil-fuel dependence to more sustainable energy systems. A key focus of the book is on strategies for reducing energy demand and improving efficiency, including technological innovation, increased adoption of renewable energy sources, and behavioral change. It also discusses policy frameworks and practical approaches to guide governments, industries, and individuals toward sustainable energy practices. http://172.20.27.22:4000/handle/123456789/139 Reiter, Sigrid Editor Sigrid Reiter http://172.20.27.22:4000/handle/123456789/139 http://172.20.27.22:4000/handle/123456789/139 lcc BK 0 4410 4410 0 0 lcc 0 0 DL DL HUM D21–E178 2026-03-19 0 DUCE TD195.E49E526 2026-03-19 08:06:08 2026-03-19 BK
