Since the discovery and confirmation of the requirement for a substantial Λ-like Dark Energy component to the Universe there has been substantial progress on the development of various observational approaches to understanding the nature of the Dark Energy. In this paper I will review some of the recent refinements to the observational evidence, and discuss opportunities for the VLT to make a substantial contribution to this field over the next ten years.
