2012年世界能源展望WORLD ENERGY OUTLOOK 2012

在去年世界能源展望的前言中，我强调需要详细、细致、客观和原始的分析作为健全能源政策制定的基础。此后，在许多情况下，根据《世界能源展望》的分析，作出了影响能源未来的重要政治决定。其中包括在许多国家制定指导非常规天然气资源开发的原则，以及社会各方面作出新的承诺，推动投资，实现普及能源的目标。

In the Foreword to last year’s World Energy Outlook, I stressed the need for detailed, meticulous, objective and original analysis as a foundation for sound energy policy making. Important political decisions shaping the energy future have since been taken, in many cases drawing on the analysis in the World Energy Outlook. They include the specification, in many countries, of principles to guide the development of unconventional gas resources and new commitments, from all parts of society, to boost investment towards the goal of providing universal energy access.
