A CONTRIBUTION TO REDUCE OIL CONSUMPTION - SEBA...

Reduction of Fossil energy utilization  Climate Change and economic progress for developing
countries are the key themes of this book. It has been written for the Global Studies Program a
cross disciplinary masters program. The underlying research was conducted in southern and west-
Africa  India and Germany. As the International Energy Agency (IEA) noted in its input papers
to the 2007 G8 summit in Germany  energy efficiency gains can decrees the overall consumption
by 30 %. However  this estimate holds true for industrialized nations. The picture for Africa
is rather dismal: over the last 20 years the oil intensity of industrialized nations has
decreased by more than 30 % whilst across Africa it has increased by roughly 5 %. The recent
oil price increases are certainly aggravating the vulnerability of developing economies.The
book at hand provides an innovative strategy to reduce national oil consumption  by taking the
socio-economic circumstances of developing countries into consideration. Hence  the goal of
economic progress can be supported by implementing this policy. Thus  the target group for this
book are policy and decision makers  the development community  academia and the interested
public.
