Full-text of IIASA's Global Energy Assessment


I found out that the full-text of IIASA's Global Energy Assessment is available for download.

GEA. (2012). Global Energy Assessment: Toward a Sustainable Future. Cambridge, UK and New York, NY: Cambridge University Press; Laxenburg, Austria: International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis. [Full-text at http://j.mp/GEAbyIIASA]

By the 1865-page-long rigorously reviewed study, GEA will be a good source of latest global energy data and references along with IPCC's recent two reports, SREX (582 pages) and SRREN (1076 pages), published this year:

IPCC. (2012). Managing the Risks of Extreme Events and Disasters to Advance Climate Change Adaptation: A Special Report of Working Groups I and II of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. Cambridge, UK and New York, NY: Cambridge University Press. [Full-text at http://j.mp/SREX_by_IPCC].

IPCC. (2012). IPCC Special Report on Renewable Energy Sources and Climate Change Mitigation. Cambridge, UK and New York, NY: Cambridge University Press. [Full-text at http://j.mp/SRREN].
