of energy acquisition, transport, production and use. A particular objective is
to cover the social, economic and political dimensions of such issues at local,
national and international level. The technological and scientific aspects of
energy and environment questions including energy conservation, and the
interaction of energy forms and systems with the physical environment, are
covered, including the relationship of such questions to wider economic and
socio-political issues. Papers covering energy related aspects of wider
environmental questions are included, such as the use of fuel wood and
continuing impacts of de-forestation.
