Original title: Research on the Dynamic Evolution and Influencing Factors of Energy Resilience in China
Authors: Tie Wei, Youqi Chen, Zhicheng Duan
In this article, the focus is on energy security and how it is crucial in achieving the goal of reducing carbon emissions and becoming carbon neutral. The authors explore the concept of energy resilience as a way to promote energy security and adapt to changes in the energy market. They use a dynamic evaluation method to measure China’s energy resilience over a span of 17 years and analyze its spatial and temporal evolution. The study reveals that China’s energy resilience level has been showing an upward trend, but with noticeable imbalances across regions. The spatial dynamics of energy resilience in China move in a northeast-southwest direction, suggesting an overall counterclockwise trend. The study also finds that neighboring provinces’ energy resilience levels have a limited impact on each other, except when they fall within a specific range, leading to positive correlations and mutual improvement. The main influencing factors on China’s energy resilience include GDP, employment numbers, and patent applications in high-tech industries, among others. It is evident that China’s energy resilience is influenced by a combination of factors.
