🌐 The 2025 World Energy Issues Monitor Based on inputs from leaders across 100+ countries, here’s the critical issues across the energy sector highlighted by this year's World Energy Issues Monitor : 🔥 Demand is surging but rigid governance and flip-flopping policies struggle to keep up. 🌏 Regional divides deepen while inequalities and volatility rise. What works in one corner of the world could spark breakthroughs elsewhere — if we listen. 👥 People remain the blind spot and the solution: From social media echo chambers to populist noise, refreshing “common sense” means centering human needs in energy transitions. The future of energy isn’t just about what powers us—it’s about who it empowers. Harnessing our collective wisdom is key to ensuring clean and inclusive energy transitions that work for all. 🌐 Read the full report here: https://lnkd.in/ewpfxCm 💭 What's the key issue that stuck out to you?
