Global Risks and Energy System Resilience offers an in-depth analysis of how global risks intersect with the robustness of modern energy systems. The book delivers a detailed exploration of the geopolitical, economic, and financial dynamics that influence energy security, presenting a clear framework for understanding and addressing these complex challenges. Through a logical approach of indicator measurement-impact assessment-scenario prediction, the book guides readers from the current landscape of risks and resilience, through the measurement and evaluation of these factors, to a nuanced understanding of their evolution across time and space. Going further, the book examines the theoretical transmission mechanisms by which various risks affect energy system resilience, supported by both literature and econometric modeling. It highlights the role of digital transformation in shaping resilience, identifies key influencing factors, and forecasts future developments in the field. This resource is indispensable for researchers, policymakers, and professionals seeking to develop effective strategies for energy security and risk mitigation, bridging theory and practice to navigate today's rapidly changing energy environment.

Energy Poverty in China: Evaluation and Alleviation offers a thorough, methodological approach to energy poverty, which is a major obstacle in terms of the green or low-carbon transition of energy systems in China. The authors follow the framework of measurement, potential impact, and alleviation paths, supporting the design of effective energy and environmental policies for a globalized nation, especially considering the low-carbon transition of energy structures and energy poverty alleviation in the context of carbon neutrality. The book begins by providing an overview of energy poverty, explaining the concept, summarizing the current situation globally and in China, and introducing the approach of the authors. The second chapter looks to build a comprehensive index system for the calculation of energy poverty in China. This is followed by three chapters that apply a range of methods to empirically assess the economic, environmental, and social effects of energy poverty. Individual chapters then explore specific alleviation paths, including digital economy, technological innovation, low-carbon energy transition, inclusive finance, and coal-to-gas/electricity policy. This book is of interest to all those with an interest in energy poverty, energy and environmental policy, energy economics, carbon emission reduction, green growth, energy transition and renewable energy, including researchers, scientists, advanced students, engineers, R&D professionals, and policy makers or other experts at governmental or non-governmental organizations.

Developing China's Green Trade: Comprehensive Evaluation, Impacts, and Advancement Trajectories gives an extensive exploration of the intricate dynamics of green trade and its consequences. The book establishes a comprehensive indexing system for China's green trade and calculates a green trade composite index. Sourcing data from the Chinese Customs import and export trade database, the National Bureau of Statistics of China, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, and more, the book employs a range of econometric methods to empirically evaluate the economic, environmental, and social impacts of green trade. It also investigates advancement approaches through environmental regulation, technological innovation, financial inclusion, an more. The book primarily follows a framework of "measuring trade promotion paths." It begins by assessing the provincial green trade index in China after reviewing the concept and current state of green trade. Subsequently, it evaluates the potential impacts of green trade, considering its effects on the economy, environment, and society. Finally, it delves into a "five-pronged approach" of green trade advancement strategies, covering aspects of regulation, technology, finance, energy, and economy.
