System Perspective -- The challenges of measuring sustainability performance -- Population development, demography and historical perspective -- Biologic resources -- Energy resources and regional balances -- Nonorganic and fossil resources. Known and estimated resources -- Reuse and circulation of organic resources and mixed residues -- Energy, different forms -- Impact on climate and environment -- Policies and incentives - Natural resources available today and in the future: how to perform change management for achieving a sustainable world -- Is Circular economy a magic bullet?.

This book focuses on providing an overview of all our available natural resources, considering the sustainability and potential for power generation of each. Energy efficiency prospects of each natural resource are examined in the context of society's key energy needs- Heating/cooling, Electric Power, Transportation and Industrial Production. Geography, climate and demographics are all discussed as key vectors impacting the comparative opportunities for self-sustenance around the globe. The authors provide in-depth coverage of renewable energy upscale and energy efficiency improvements in industry and society within a historical context, including a keen look at the variable effectiveness of different policy tools that have been used to support the transition away from unsustainable resource use. Finally, suggestions for more sustainable futures are provided, from improved policy measures, to new technological horizons in areas from offshore wind and marine energy to biogas and energy storage. Provides an overview of all our available natural resources in the context of sustainability and power generation potential; Connects increasingly available detailed demographical data with energy needs, today and in the future; Examines the role of policy in impacting energy consumption in an easy to access way, considering wins and failures of the past, and suggesting new pathways forward.
