Energy Statistics Pocketbook2026 ST/ESA/STAT/SER.E/9 Department of Economic and Social Affairs Statistics Division Statistics PapersSeries E No.92026 Energy Statistics PocketbookUnited Nations New York, 2026Department of Economic and Social Affairs The Department of Economic and Social Affairs of the United Nations is a vital interface between global policies in the economic, social and environmental spheres and national action. The Department works in three main interlinked areas: (i) it compiles, generates and analyses a wide range of economic, social and environmental data and information on which United Nations Member States draw to review common problems and to take stock of policy options; (ii) it facilitates the negotiations of Member States in many intergovernmental bodies on joint courses of action to address ongoing or emerging global challenges; and (iii) it advises interested Governments on the ways and means of translating policy frameworks developed in United Nations conferences and summits into programmes at the country level and, through technical assistance, helps build national capacities.

Energy is central to the achievement of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the Paris Agreement on climate change, and sound energy statistics are the basis for the reliable measurement of progress, thereby assisting the formulation of policy measures to achieve international and national sustainable development goals. The information in this publication is primarily based on the energy data collection carried out by the Energy Statistics Section of the United Nations Statistics Division (UNSD). The data are available in the 2023 editions of the Energy Statistics Yearbook, the Energy Balances and the Electricity Profiles, three annual UNSD publications that present energy data in basic indicator formats to show a detailed picture of production, trade, transformation and consumption of energy products in more than 200 countries and territories. The present publication aims to synthesize this information by highlighting key indicators and using different visualizations to show developments, dependencies and distributions in a way that standard data tables cannot convey. More information about the data collection process, as well as the other three annual publications sourced from the same database as this pocketbook, are available at https://unstats.un.org/unsd/energystats.
