GLOBAL ENERGY ASSESSMENT AND GERMANY
8Source: GEA, 2012: Global Energy Assessment - Toward a Sustainable Future, Cambridge University Press and IIASA
• Over 50 German authors and reviewers• Launched in 2012 at the Federal Ministry for
the Environment in Berlin• Outcomes include defining the aspirational yet
feasible objectives for the UN Secretary-General’s Sustainable Energy For All Initiative: 1. Ensure universal access to modern
energy services by 20302. Double the global rate of improvements in
energy efficiency by 20303. Double the share of renewable energy in
the global energy mix by 2030

ADVANCING RESEARCH METHODSAs part of the Geo-Wiki project, IIASA and partners including the
University of Freiburg have been leading a team of citizen scientists to improve maps of different land uses by examining satellite data to
identify exactly how people use the land.
