Description

Global Risks and Energy System Resilience examines the intricate interplay between various global risks and the resilience of energy systems. This comprehensive reference delves into the complex geopolitical, economic, and financial factors that shape energy security today, offering a structured framework for understanding and addressing challenges. It covers crucial topics such as the evolution of energy system resilience, the development of an evaluation framework, and the quantification of the impacts of geopolitical, financial, and economic risks. Researchers, policymakers, and industry professionals in energy strategy and policy evaluation, energy system resilience optimization, and risk avoidance policies will find this book invaluable.

This book follows the logical framework of “indicator measurement-impact assessment-scenario prediction.” It first analyzes the current situation and provides an overview of global risks and the energy system resilience, then measures the levels of different types of global risks and energy system resilience, and then analyzes the spatio-temporal evolution law. Second, the theoretical transmission mechanism of different kinds of risks on energy system resilience is analyzed through literature and theoretical review. Next, the actual impacts of different kinds of risks on energy system resilience are assessed by corresponding econometric models. Finally, the influencing factors affecting the resilience of energy systems under a digital background are identified to predict the future development of energy system resilience.

Key features

  • Analyzes the intricate interplay between geopolitical, economic, and financial risks and their impact on global energy system resilience, providing a multifaceted understanding of contemporary challenges
  • Evaluates the current state of energy system resilience using bibliometric methods to contextualize research progress and identify gaps in existing literature
  • Quantifies the effects of specific risks on energy resilience using advanced econometric models, offering actionable insights and empirical findings that inform policy and strategic decision-making
  • Explores the future trends of energy system resilience through predictive scenario analysis, equipping readers with tools to anticipate and mitigate emerging risks in an increasingly uncertain global environment
  • Identifies key driving factors of energy resilience and their spatial differentiation, enabling stakeholders to tailor strategies that enhance energy security and stability in their respective regions
