With climate change mainly originating from the extensive use of fossil fuels and having impacts on many aspects of life, changing the way energy is utilised constitutes a challenge that the world collectively must tackle. In this respect, all countries should implement a variety of measures focusing on energy efficiency and use of sustainable energy sources towards decarbonising their economies and achieving effective greenhouse gas emission reductions and sustainable development. Technological innovations, economic growth, societal compliance, and the regulatory and institutional frameworks constitute prominent factors that could promote, hinder or shape energy transitions as well as indicate the capacity of energy systems to be transformed. Therefore, investigating energy transitions and the extent to which countries are prepared to carry out such transitions requires the consideration of insights into multiple dimensions. This study outlines a multicriteria analysis framework to assess a country's sustainable energy transition readiness level, drawing from four pillars—social, political/regulatory, economic and technological—comprising a consistent set of eight evaluation criteria. The proposed decision analysis framework builds on the PROMETHEE II and AHP methods. Fourteen countries of different profile and level of progress towards sustainable development are evaluated and ranked, in an effort to highlight areas for improvement, and to support policymakers in designing appropriate pathways towards a greener economy.

可持续能源过渡准备:多标准评估指标

气候变化主要源自化石燃料的广泛使用,并影响到生活的许多方面,改变能源的利用方式构成了世界集体必须应对的挑战。在这方面,所有国家应采取各种措施,着重于能源效率和利用可持续能源,以实现经济脱碳,有效减少温室气体排放和实现可持续发展。技术创新,经济增长,社会合规以及监管和制度框架是可能促进,阻碍或塑造能源转型以及表明能源系统转型能力的重要因素。因此,调查能源转型以及各国准备进行此类转型的程度需要考虑对多个方面的见解。这项研究概述了一个多标准分析框架,该框架从社会,政治/监管,经济和技术四个方面来评估一个国家的可持续能源过渡准备水平,其中包括一整套八个评估标准。建议的决策分析框架以PROMETHEE II和AHP方法为基础。对十四个国家在可持续发展方面的概况和进展水平进行了评估和排名,以突出需要改进的领域,并支持决策者设计通往绿色经济的适当途径。
