Sustainable consumption and energy efficiency

Abstract

Purpose: The paper presents the issues related to the sustainable consumption and energy efficiency. Design/methodology/approach: The study used world-bank reports from the University of Oxford publication Our World in Data and own research. Findings: The main purpose of the article is to increase consumer awareness and demand for energy needs. It is worth emphasizing the important role played by sustainable energy expenditure in this area. They are an important element of sustainable consumption, because the way society uses energy has a significant impact on the environment, health and energy resources. Sustainable energy expenditure is a way of using energy that allows you to achieve a balance between the demand for energy and its consumption. Selected measures of energy efficiency show that economic development does not have to be equated with an increase in the consumption of energy resources. Originality/value: The publication presents the results of research conducted on the basis the University of Oxford publication Our World in Data. Keywords: sustainable consumption, energy efficiency, solar energy. Category of the paper: Research paper.
