The word security referred primarily to a physical as well as an economic concept. The Energy Future in an Interdependent World Rome 2007 Technical Programme Today the concept is much broader. Energy is recognised as a global issue as demonstrated by its importance in international trade. Industrialised countries still dominate world energy demand but their share is falling. Developing countries are the leading energy exporters but their role as consumers is also rapidly increasing.
