Energy [1]

['Hannah Ritchie', 'Pablo Rosado', 'Max Roser']

Date: 2024-01-04  

The world lacks a safe, low-carbon, and cheap large-scale energy infrastructure.

Until we scale up such an energy infrastructure, the world will continue to face two energy problems: hundreds of millions of people lack access to sufficient energy, and the dominance of fossil fuels in our energy system drives climate change and other health impacts such as air pollution.

To ensure everyone has access to clean and safe energy, we need to understand energy consumption and its impacts around the world today and how this has changed over time.

On this page, you can find all our data, visualizations, and writing relating to energy.
