“…In Brazil, the energy transformation sector comprises the extraction of petroleum and natural gas, petroleum refining, biofuel production, power generation and coke production. Energy use strongly correlates with GDP, per capita income and urbanisation levels, a pattern experienced worldwide (Cornillie and Fankhauser, 2004;Ezcurra, 2007;Markandya et al, 2006;Mielnik, 2000;Nilsson, 1993;Ribas et al, 2017).…”

“…For example, none of the UN or World Bank reports on historical patterns of inclusive wealth we cited there (107,108) give more than passing attention to the questions of intragenerational equity latent in their data. Even more surprisingly, none of the 17 UN SDGs explicitly addresses the concerns of intergenerational equity that have been so central to sustainability discourse (121,122).…”

This review synthesizes diverse approaches that researchers have brought to bear on the challenge of sustainable development. We construct an integrated framework highlighting the union set of elements and relationships that those approaches have shown to be useful in explaining nature–society interactions in multiple contexts. Compelling evidence has accumulated that those interactions should be viewed as a globally interconnected, complex adaptive system in which heterogeneity, nonlinearity, and innovation play formative roles. The long-term evolution of that system cannot be predicted but can be understood and partially guided through dynamic interventions. Research has identified six capacities necessary to support such interventions in guiding development pathways toward sustainability. These are capacities to ( a) measure sustainable development, ( b) promote equity, ( c) adapt to shocks and surprises, ( d ) transform the system into more sustainable development pathways, ( e) link knowledge with action, and ( f ) devise governance arrangements that allow people to work together in exercising the other capacities. Expected final online publication date for the Annual Review of Environment and Resources, Volume 45 is October 19, 2020.

“…Some studies perform further analyses for subsamples, estimating separate coefficients for country groups (e.g., OECD/non-OECD [73], excluding outliers [65], or self-constructed country groups [59]). Tran et al [9] suggest exploring transitional economies as a group, and many studies recommend further research for other countries [66,69,72,73,80,85,87], and taking the country-specific climatic context into account [72,80].…”

“…Some indicate that they include countries based on data availability, e.g., [82,85]; Others define a minimum population threshold for a country to be included in the sample [72,74]. While not all studies include a list of included countries, we compiled and mapped data from all 10 TD studies with a global panel of countries (i.e., studies that do not limit their scope to a particular group of countries) that explicitly list the countries included in the assessment [9,64,65,70,73,77,78,80,82,85], see Figure 4. It is apparent that especially Sub-Saharan African countries are underrepresented in global analyses, which may skew results.…”

Understanding the relationship between energy use and well-being is crucial for designing holistic energy policy. The latter has to both effectively mitigate climate change driven by current fossil-based energy systems as well as promote human development, which requires energy. While a significant body of research investigates this relationship, study designs differ significantly, so findings cannot be easily generalized. This machine learning-aided review provides an overview of the current state of the literature examining this relationship. We highlight and discuss methodological differences between the studies, including their perspective (top-down or bottom-up), spatial scope, and the respective energy and well-being indicators used. The review reveals that most research takes a top-down perspective, analyzing country-level data across multiple countries. These studies typically find a positive relationship between energy use and well-being, and most confirm the existence of a saturation effect. We reveal that countries in the Global South are underrepresented in current studies. Bottom-up studies focus on specific countries or country groups using household-level data, yielding more nuanced findings that can be further disaggregated by consumption domain. We find that energy and well-being indicators differ substantially across studies, yet the implications of this choice are not always sufficiently discussed. The review shows and discusses the current shift from production- to consumption-based energy indicators.
