Many of the major environmental problems of today, such as climate change,
air pollution, acidification of lakes and forests, deforestation and desertification,
share a common causal factor: energy - its production, transformation and
final use. This report describes the health and environmental consequences
of different energy systems in a brief and simplified way to readers who
may not be familiar with all the technical details.
