Kurzfassung:
The purpose of this paper is to illustrate the importance of strategic planningin general and its application in energy and the environment in particular.In the contemporary world, planning is so common that we cannot evenmanage everyday life without plan. Strategic planning is a formalized, struc-tured, planned way to manage planning from formulation to implementation,evaluation, and control. When we talk about energy, we mostly talk about thevarious forms (physical) of energy such as nuclear, thermal, chemical, electri-cal, or other forms which create and transform energy. The sources of energycan be solar, wind, water, nuclear, electromagnetism or related to fossil – coal,gas, petroleum etc. The world rarely has sufficient energy therefore, strategicplanning for energy is essential to sustain and maintain the energy supply anddemand. The environment is our entire surroundings including the land, air,water, or the combination of all biotic and abiotic factors of the planet. Wehave ample evidence that anthropogenic disturbances have already destroyedthe balance of nature, as a result the global climatic pattern is changed, andthere has been unprecedented damage to our ecosystem. Such severe impacts due to global environmental change mean that it is extremely urgent that weformulate a strategic plan (or plans) to protect the environment. There areas yet no alternatives for Planet Earth, therefore we need planned strategiesto minimize the environmental problems. This review outlines why strategicplanning is so important for the future of energy and the environment sincethey go hand in hand Strategic planning, climate change, energy, environment, devel-opment, united nations, environmental problems, epistemology, knowl-edge gap.
