Abstract

In a rapidly changing world marked by population growth, urbanization, economic shifts, and dynamic political landscapes, global energy demand has soared to unparalleled levels. This presents a complex challenge that transcends borders. . Economic, political, and health events significantly shape energy consumption patterns. This study investigates the impact of these factors on energy use across seven regions, providing insights into the global energy puzzle. It reveals disparities in consumption growth rates and the shifting epicenter of energy demand towards developing countries. While offering opportunities, the global demand surge necessitates a move towards sustainable energy practices. The research spans from 1965 to 2021, analyzing data from the BP Statistical Review of World Energy 2022. By unravelling these complexities, the study aims to guide the path towards 0sustainable energy solutions.
