Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Natural extreme events, induced by climate change, are on the rise. Failure to address adaptation and mitigation to climate change could lead to costly consequences of humans. Decarbonizing the energy sector is crucial for mitigating climate change and renewable energy has been considered as an effective means for reducing carbon emissions. However, the resilience of energy supply, especially for systems with more renewable energy sources, is vulnerable to weather and climate. Besides, energy demand is extensively influenced by weather conditions, as well as the responses of firms and households. Thus, understanding the intertwined relationship among energy, economy, and extreme weather plays an important role in adapting to climate change. Despite the growing analysis of the reactivities of the energy system itself to climate change, gaps still remain in knowledge of the knock-on adaption and responses of firms and households when considering the effects of extreme weather. The primary purpose of this special issue is to explore the nexus between extreme weather and energy systems. Original results from theoretical discussions and empirical investigations are both welcomed. Topics of interests include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Carbon reduction strategies with extreme weather
- Extreme weather impact on renewable energy supply system
- Energy-poverty-climate nexus
- Climate change and energy poverty
- The role of extreme weather on firm behavior in energy sector, like Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG)
- Extreme weather and energy transition risk
- Energy paths for climate change adaptation and mitigation
