This article presents an overview of global energy trends focusing on energy costs, energy use and carbon dioxide emissions. Secondly, a review of contemporary work is presented focusing on national energy pathways with cases from Ireland, Denmark and Jordan, spatial issues within sustainable energyplanning and policy means to advance a sustainable energy future.
