In an era of unprecedented global population growth, the demand for energy has reached staggering levels. The United Nations reported an enormous 200% increase in population between 1950 and 2020, with projections indicating a further rise to 10.9 billion by 2100. As a direct consequence, global primary energy usage has surged from 3701 Mtoe in 1965 to 13511 Mtoe in 2017, putting immense strain on existing energy sources. If current growth rates persist, these sources could be depleted within a mere 130 years. To address this impending crisis, governments worldwide have implemented regulations and incentives to promote energy conservation. While numerous studies and publications have emerged within the field of energy management, there remains a significant research gap, particularly concerning the energy challenges faced by developing countries. Existing edited books on energy-related topics often narrowly focus on specific aspects, hindering readers from gaining a holistic understanding of energy management challenges and potential solutions. This book fills this void. Recognizing the pivotal role these nations play in achieving sustainable development goals, this book provides a wide-ranging perspective on the trends, challenges, and potential solutions to energy crises in these regions. It not only acknowledges the challenges faced by developing countries but also offers viable strategies to address them. The editor, leveraging his successful leadership experience in global academic endeavors, including publishing a book on Occupational Safety & Health practices during the COVID-19 era and coordination of multinational research projects, is well positioned to bring together exceptional chapters from various countries. His extensive network ensures the inclusion of diverse perspectives, enriching the book's content and offering invaluable insights to readers. Designed for a broad readership, including energy industry organizations, professionals, researchers, government bodies, policymakers, and students, this book delves into a wide array of energy management issues. By facilitating a comprehensive understanding of the subject, it equips readers with the knowledge and tools necessary to navigate the complex landscape of energy management in the modern world. 0aRenewable energy sources.958133 0aSustainable architecture.966051 0aElectric power distribution.966068 0aEnergy policy.961992 0aEnergy and state.966460 0aPower resources.962154 0aEconomics.95835414aRenewable Energy.96420624aSustainable Architecture/Green Buildings.96605424aEnergy Grids and Networks.96606924aEnergy Policy, Economics and Management.96646124aNatural Resource and Energy Economics.96878024aPolitical Economy of Energy.9691751 aYunusa-Kaltungo, Akilu.eeditor.0(orcid)0000-0001-5138-37831https://orcid.org/0000-0001-5138-37834edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt9815192 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer Nature eBook08iPrinted edition:z978303158085708iPrinted edition:z978303158087108iPrinted edition:z9783031580888 0aLecture Notes in Energy,x2195-1292 ;v10097509540uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-58086-4  aZDB-2-ENE  aZDB-2-SXEN  c62038d62038
