摘要:Acomparison of energy intensity in Latin America
and the Caribbean and the OECD reveals that the
region’s countries have been unable to separate
energy consumption from economic growth. This contrasts
with the OECD countries, which reduced energy
intensity by 24% between 1980 and 2004. Energy
intensity is a ratio that measures energy consumption per
unit of Gross Domestic Product.
The region of Latin America and the Caribbean has
been unable to improve productivity since 1980, while
energy intensity accumulated a rise of less than 2% in the
past 24 years. (Figure 1)
