The Yearbook 2016/2017 “The Energy (R)evolution”  is also available as an ebook.

This 10th year's carbon neutral edition was established in collaboration with the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), UN Sustainable Energy for All, World Energy Council, European Commission, etc. In the face of a growing global population and the increase in energy demand, one of the greatest challenges of the 21st century is meeting our energy needs in a sustainable way. The yearbook focuses on the evolution and challenges of the energy market that impact on the climate, geopolitics and world economy, aiming to navigate and better understand our energy future. 

The Yearbook 2015/16 "Sustainable Consumption and Production: Towards a Circular Economy" is also available as an ebook.

The company is preparing the ninth Yearbook edition in collaboration with the SwitchMed and the Regional Activity Centre for Sustainable Consumption and Production of the UNEP. In times where material wealth is cherished, global population is rising and there is ever-growing consumption, the process by which products and services are delivered to our doors needs to embrace a sustainable model. On the other hand, decisions and actions taken by consumers may have a serious impact on the environment. The challenge is to manage these interdependencies in a way that human development advances without causing harm to the environment and our planetary boundaries. Circular economy maximises the business potential to transform environmental challenges into economic opportunities, innovation, and better life quality.

The Yearbook 2015/16 "Sustainable Consumption and Production: Towards a Circular Economy" is also available as an ebook.
