Increase of energy efficiency remains as one of the major strategic objectives in Lithuania. Effective use of existing energy saving potential increases energy security and reduces emissions of greenhouse gas and other pollutants. In order to meet the growing energy demand and to reduce the negative impact of the energy sector on environment, increase of the role of renewable energy sources in the country's primary energy balance, as well as larger deployment of energy-efficient and smart technologies in all areas, including military structures, are required. When analysing energy security and energy efficiency, as the two interrelated aspects of the Lithuanian energy policy, assessment of the global energy trends in the world, the EU and neighbouring countries, expected developments in the modern technologies, as well as global aspirations to neutralize the threat of climate change was performed. The paper provides an overview of energy consumption trends in the European Union and Lithuania, energy policy in the NATO alliance, as well the current status of energy consumption in the Lithuanian National Defence System.

Turkey's energy market has expanded over the course of the past decade at a pace that only the People's Republic of China (PRC) has approached. This shows that Turkey has serious potential. To achieve the energy targets for 2023, there is an expectation that the market must receive investments worth $130 billion. In terms of cooperation with the European Union, renewable energy is a promising route, as both parties face energy challenges due to the limited availability of fossil fuels. Increasing the use of renewable energy in electricity generation can also play a significant role in realizing Turkey's long-term goal of forming a natural gas corridor within its borders. The National Energy and Mining Policy, which the Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources initiated, aims to reduce the dependence on external energy in favor of renewable sources. In the final quarter of 2017, energy generation from water, groundwater, wind, and solar and biological waste reached 32%, exceeding the 2023 target of 30%. When Turkey can create and develop its own renewable sources and overcome the technological and financial challenges, it could enjoy a wealth of diversity, independence, and sustainability in the energy sector. In Turkey, with its young population dynamics, producing energy from renewable sources has much more importance than in other countries. This paper, after revising the global renewable energy supply and demand conditions and the energy strategies of countries like the People's Republic of China and the European Union, will analyze Turkey's strategy for energy generation in detail. The focus will be on how the use of renewable energy will contribute to the energy security and growth of the Turkish economy.

"Concepts from justice and ethics can significantly inform energy decision-makers. Benjamin K. Sovacool introduces readers to the injustices and insecurities inherent in the global energy system before presenting an energy justice conceptual framework consisting of availability, affordability, due process, good governance, prudence, intergenerational equity, intragenerational equity, and responsibility. He showcases the application of these principles to eight real-world case studies involving national energy planning in Denmark, the Warm Front program in the United Kingdom, the World Bank's Inspection Panel, the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative, São Thomé e Príncipe's Natural Resource Fund, solar energy in Bangladesh, climate change adaptation efforts in least developed countries, and the Yasuni-ITT Initiative in Ecuador"--

In many cases, the changes have been triggered by weakened economic conditions linked to the last international economic crisis (2008), but in some others, they respond to national political preferences that have been given priority over long-term goals related to sustainability. The second half of 2016 was particularly full of events that on one hand, introduced uncertainty over markets, and on the other hand, may condition the progress (both weakening it and leaning it towards the wrong path) towards the Energy Union, the latest attempt to achieve energy market integration by the EU institutions. This paper will focus on three events to analyse their influence over EU's energy governance patterns: The first is the Brexit vote and the implications over budget availability for emissions reduction projects. The second is the election of Donald Trump as president of the USA, with his declared disbelief in climate change. Finally yet importantly is the latest decision by OPEC to cut production in order to increase oil prices. With the exception of Brexit, these events are external to the EU, but all of them will have an impact over EU energy policy decisions. Bearing in mind that goals set up for 2030 are already 'softer' than expected compared to the 2020 ones, the question is whether those events could push policymakers more towards European targets concerned with security of supply, conflicting with emissions reduction goals.
