The Department works inthree main interlinked areas: (i) it compiles, generates and analyses a wide range of economic, social andenvironmental data and information on which United Nations Member States draw to review common Note The designations employed and the presentation of the material in the present publication do not imply theexpression of any opinion whatsoever on the part of the United Nations concerning the legal status of anycountry or of its authorities, or the delimitations of its frontiers.

Energy is central to theachievement of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the Paris Agreement on The information in this publication is primarily based on the energy data collection carriedoutby the Energy Statistics Section of the United Nations Statistics Division (UNSD). Thedata are available in the2023editions of the Energy Statistics Yearbook, the EnergyBalances and the Electricity Profiles, three annual UNSD publications that present energy The present publication aimstosynthesizethis informationby highlighting key indicatorsand using different visualizations to show developments, dependencies and distributions in More information about the data collection process, as well as theotherthreeannualpublicationssourced from the samedatabase as this pocketbook,are available at AcknowledgementsThis publication has been compiled by the Energy Statistics Section of UNSD, which is headed byLeonardoRochaSouza. The conceptual design of this pocketbook has beencarried out byLeonardoRochaSouzaand Costanza Giovannelli.Costanza Giovannelli tookthe lead in the graphic design, supported by Graham Osborn and Peng Guo, while Jessica Enquiries, comments and suggestions for improving this publication are welcome andshould be addressed to:energy_stat@un.org. Total energy supply 1. Total energy supply per capita, 2023 FACTS AND FIGURES World total energy supply1(TES)was 628.6 EJ in 2023, increasing by 1.9% compared to 2022. However, thisincrease was not felt evenly across regions. Total energy supply increased in Asia (+4.3%), Oceania (+3.7%),Latin America and the Caribbean (+3.2%) and Africa (+1.8%). On the other hand, TES decreased in Europe Looking at a longer time horizon, world TES increased by 76.9% from 1990 to 2023. This increase was driven byAsia, responsible for 89.3% of the world growth during the period. Chinese TES alone increased by more thanfivefold, growing to account for over a quarter (26.0%) of world TES in 2023. In contrast, the European share of world TES more than halved from 35.5% in 1990 to 15.6% in 2023, with anabsolute drop of 28.0 EJ. International bunkers were equal to 16.0 EJ in 2023 (corresponding to 2.5% of world TES), showing asubstantial increase compared to 2022 (+9.6%) but still remaining below pre-pandemic levels.

Overall, since 1990, primaryproduction increased by 77.4
